Parking Lot Sale
Most of us have stuff. Sometimes we find ourselves with too much stuff! What do we do with the old stuff? Is your closet to full? Do you need to get rid of stuff? Would you like to sell it? Is a garage sale to much work, or are you afraid of putting your address out there, inviting strangers to your property? We understand all of these things and have a solution for you. St. Mark is offering you a parking space to sell your items. Our first PARKING LOT sale will be May 21st. We are charging $10.00 a space. We furnish the parking space for you to sell your stuff. We DO NOT furnish tables and require you to take everything with you when you leave.
Call Karen at 612-272-3386 for more information and to secure your spot.
Blue Jean Sunday
On May 22nd, after worship, we will be doing some clean up around the church property! We would love your help in making this quick and easy for everyone! Some of the projects we have are: spring cleaning the property, road clean up along North Road, dusting and the youth are invited to help paint the youth room. Please do all that you can to be here to help! More hands make less work for all!
Summer Markings
If you would like to add something to our next addition, please have it to Jenny in the office by Monday May 23rd. This addition will be for June - August.
St. Mark Crisis Fund
The congregation has generously supported a designated fund that has allowed Pastor Mollie to help many people in need. Due to the high need in the last few months, this account has significantly decreased. If you are willing and able to make a donation to the St. Mark Crisis Fund, we’d greatly appreciate it. Please indicate your donation with “Crisis Fund” in the memo. There is also a line labeled on the online giving page for Crisis Fund as well. Thank you in advance for your gracious donations.
