‘Love God; And Love Each Other.’ – Jesus

Thank you for joining us online and connecting with us.

God’s dream for the world is that we live in just peace and tender harmony, fostering a global community in which each members’ rights and responsibilities are affirmed and fulfilled. This community is marked by ‘love,’ in thought, word, and deed. For Christians, there’s nothing esoteric about this ‘love’ – it is visible, tangible, measureable – which means, for the Church, it’s also something we can, and do, practice together.

2023 Annual Giving Campaign starts October 1

Your gift to Saint Mark’s funds our mission, providing the necessary resources to effectively share in God’s work. With your financial support, we can have safe and beautiful places in which to gather and to strengthen connections; staff and clergy to network, organize, and align gifts and passions among us; and meaningful worship and learning opportunities to more fully give ourselves away for the love of others –especially the most vulnerable among us.

Learn more and make your gift here.

Godly Play

Online | Mon, Oct. 10, 6:15-6:45 pm

For all ages, children through adults. Please register for Zoom.

Anywhere & Anytime

In Godly Play we get ready for things we are about to do. This can mean pausing and being mindful of where we are, those around us, and the presence of God. It can mean calming and focusing ourselves. A simple approach many people find helpful is taking a few deep breaths. You can practice that anywhere and anytime, whatever you’re doing.

Questions? Contact Monica Kruger, Godly Play Coordinator.

What examples of our past can inspire our action now? What failings do we need to understand and address? As we embark on exploration of our history we would value hearing your stories!
