St. Mark's Members & Friends, As you may be aware the church council recently scheduled a congregational meeting at the request of the call committee for the church to vote on whether to affiliate with the Lutheran Congregations in Mission for Christ (LCMC). See here for more information about that decision. To share more and answer questions, informational meetings are scheduled for Saturday, May 7 and Saturday, May 21 at 10 a.m. in the John Bates FLC. Representatives from the LCMC will be present at those meetings. Both the LCMC and the synod were invited to attend, unfortunately due to previous commitments the Bishop will be unable to attend these days. However, the call committee will be in communication with the Bishop’s office to schedule an ELCA informational meeting which will be announced shortly. Please make plans to attend these meetings so you can make an informed decision on this important topic for the future of our church. For those unable to attend, the meetings will be recorded and a link will be provided when those recording have been uploaded to YouTube. If you have a question you would like to submit for any of the informational meetings, you submit them using the form located here.   Note: in order to accommodate the additional informational meeting for the Bishop to present for the ELCA, and to ensure the process is as thorough as possible, the congregational meeting on May 22 is being postponed and a new date will be announced soon.
