The Congregational Care Team needs your help. 

In response to Christ’s call to love one another we need your help. The Congregational Care Team seeks to extend Christian caring, concern, and support to members and friends of Saint Mark. We are united in our commitment to love God, love our neighbors, and follow Christ in faithful service.

Whether you think we know it or not, if you know of anyone who is sick, homebound, or may have passed, please send the information to Robert Gilleo (RJGilleo@stmarkumc.org or text at 404-808-3016) as soon as you know. This will allow the Congregational Care team to be informed of current concerns. 

We’d also like to share the joys of the congregation. If you have any joys that you’d like to share or pass along to the congregation, please send those to Robert Gilleo as well.

Thank you!

The Church Offices will reopen on Monday, January 6, 2025 at 10 AM.

JANUARY COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT OPPORTUNITY

January 23-26, 2025

The Q Christian Fellowship Conference is a transformative gathering that fosters a vibrant, inclusive, and affirming space for LGBTQ+ Christians and allies to grow spiritually, emotionally, and intellectually. Rooted in love and faith, this annual event brings together a diverse community to celebrate God’s unconditional love for all. And this year's national conference will be right here in Atlanta! Through dynamic workshops, engaging keynote speakers, and uplifting worship experiences attendees are encouraged to make meaningful connections and explore their faith in ways that empower authenticity and belonging.

Are you looking for a great way to heal, to celebrate, and to deepen your relationship with God while discovering how to live out your calling authentically? Whether you are seeking encouragement, solidarity, or guidance, the Q Christian Fellowship Conference is a space where you are welcomed, valued, and reminded of the boundless grace that connects us all. Saint Mark will be participating in this year's conference; an initiative led by Reverend Andy! Scholarships are available for five (at least) Saint Markers to attend along with him! If you would like to attend, please check out https://ti.to/qchristianorg/2025-conference. And if you are interested in the possibility of a scholarship, please reach out to the church office!
