Saint Mark United Methodist Church

The Remarks

Wednesday, March 8, 2023

Don't forget to SPRING FORWARD this WEEKEND!

Also, please note due to the Prayer Walk after the 11 AM service, we will only have ONE COMBINED service this Sunday at 11 AM.

No 9 AM service.

But we will have Sunday School Classes.

We welcome our friends from Tiff’s Treats this Sunday. Their Food Truck will be out front to help us celebrate our Prayer Walk in the Midtown Community. If you make a purchase from their food truck, they will give you a special treat. Just let them know you are a member of Saint Mark.  

One of Saint Mark's hidden gems is indeed our ….. GYM!

Many of you remember days when the sounds of our youth and young adults playing basketball and volleyball were part of the social life of our church. Others have been to drama productions which featured incredibly talented Saint Mark members and friends. Still others remember seeing their children ride tricycles around the gym.

Yes, we miss our gem, The Gym. Why? Well.... because over the years it has become an un-welcomed water feature (see the video below!). BUT... that is about to change. Bill Sanders has led the "47/57 Building Roof" project behind the scenes (or maybe ABOVE the scenes) to re-roof the area. This work covers the roof for the education building and gym - as 47 refers to the section constructed in 1947 and 57 refer to the portion built in 1957.

This is another step in Re(Building) our Legacy. We expect this work to begin any day now, with a target completion of mid-April. What an Easter gift this would be to have our gem, The Gym, dry and safe so every-bunny can enjoy it again!

More work to do there in the future....but keeping the water out is the first step.
