Welcome Dr. Mary Newton, our new Director of Music and Choir Director! We’re excited to welcome her to the St. Mark community! A quick note from her:
Hello! I am very excited to be at St. Mark's and I am looking forward to getting more acquainted with your wonderful community in the coming days.
For current and potential choir members: Please note that we will have a meet and greet (with treats!) next Wed, September 21st at 6:30pm in the fellowship hall. This will be a time for us all to meet each other and get to know each other a little bit. We will also have treats and a separate email will be sent out about that. There might even be a raffle prize so watch your email for more information. The first choir rehearsal will be Wed Sept. 28 and the choir will sing on Sunday Oct 2.
Thank you to all who helped with the Fall Festival - it was wonderful to spend time with everyone! In order to continue to make a successful event, we'd love your HONEST feedback about the Fall Festival. Follow the link below to fill out the evaluation.
Fall Festival Eval
Thank you to everyone who helped and donated to our last Blood Drive - we collected 57 units! Mark your calendar for our next drive on WEDNESDAY November 9th.
Date correction in Fall Markings - The Holiday Bazaar is Saturday November 12th from 9-3pm
It Only Takes a Spark
Thank you to everyone who stopped by the Spark table at the fall festival. The buckets are out in the narthex if you’d like to take a second look at them. These buckets are labeled with a some of our different ministry areas - some new and some of the familiar areas. Next to the buckets, there’s a short description of what it is as well. (There is not a bucket for helping in worship since we already have that established, however, if you’d like to be put on that list, please write that down and put it in the worship team bucket). Fill out your flame and drop it in the bucket or buckets of your choice!
In addition to the ministry buckets, there is also an opportunity to give above and beyond your financial giving. To help close our 2022 deficit, a few members have stepped forward to match any additional giving. There is a special line item on our Giving Page and envelopes that have flames on it. Please use one of those to donate financially. A letter will be sent out with more information as well.
Sip and Learn - Aging Well
Our next monthly sip and learn is next week - Wednesday Sept. 21 at 10am! The topic this month is End of Life planning with Rick Bies of Muller-Bies Funeral Home. It’s located here at St. Mark and it’s free to attend!
New St. Mark Apparel
Since its been a few years since we did our last St. Mark swag orders, we thought it would be great to launch another one! This time - you can order and ship it to your house! Or you can choose to have it shipped in a larger batch that will get delivered to St. Mark. Either way, you will take care of paying via their website. T-shirts, sweatshirts, and even youth sizes are available! If you have any questions, please let Jenny know.
