What Do You Hope for Saint Marks? |
|
Pastor Vicki and the Vestry are working on a vision and future plans for Saint Mark's and they need your ideas.
There will be postcards in the bulletin the next few weeks asking for your response to the question: "If money were no object, what would you like to see Saint Mark's do, be or become?"
If you are worshipping digitally, you can answer the same question here.
We expect to have some ideas to share in February.

Michael Schreffler joins Saint Mark's as our permanent organist on Sunday.
Welcome Michael to the community of Saint Mark's. Make sure to introduce yourself so Michael can get to know you.

Communion for Digital Worship |
|
Many people are choosing to worship through our live-stream as COVID cases are rising.
If you are choosing to worship digitally, but still would like to receive communion, you can come to Saint Mark's between 11:45 & 12:15. Pastor Vicki will be just inside the red doors.
Wear your mask, come to the red doors, but stay safely outside. When Pastor Vicki sees you, she will come out and distribute communion to you.
We will do this for January. How long it continues beyond that will be determined by the progress of COVID.

In January and February, Pastor Vicki and Dan Morton are team teaching Adult Formation. The offering is called “When God Calls” and will look at people in Scripture who God has called.
Adult formation meets at 9:30 on Sunday morning in the parish hall. We will meet January 9, 16, 23 & 30 and February 20 & 27. This course will also be offered on Zoom.
If you missed the first session, which discussed Sarah & Hagar, you can find the recording here. This week's session will look at Moses, Samuel and Samuel's mother.

You can help with Street Church |
|
Saint Mark’s is providing the meal for Street Church at St. John’s, Columbus on Sunday, January 30.
We are asking households to pick up a pan and a recipe, make the casserole and bring it to church on the 30th for a final baking.
The ingredients for one pan will cost less than $25 and it should take about ½ hour to prepare and assemble.
Pans & recipes will be available starting next week.

Migration Ministries Meeting |
|
The Migration Ministry committee is meeting on Tuesday January 25 at 7 pm on Zoom.
In addition to supporting our family seeking asylum, the committee is beginning to plan for the visit of an exhibit from Artisans Without Boarders.
This is going to be an exciting year and this is a great time to get involved.
If you are interested in the work of the committee or want to join the zoom meeting, contact Joyce Acton at actongroup@gmail.com.

We are currently out of COVID tests. We expect a new supply early in the new year and will let you know when they arrive. |

Should I wear a mask at church?
