The Columbus Museum of Art is hosting an exhibit called Raphael – The Power of Renaissance Images. The exhibit features six tapestries designed by Raphael. The tapestries were woven in the 16^th century to hang in the Sistine Chapel.

We have arranged a tour of the tapestries for Saint Mark’s on Sunday, September 25 at 2 p.m.

We will head over to the Museum after church and have lunch at the café there. If you want to have lunch on your own, you can meet us at the Museum by 1:50.

The Museum is requiring masks for tours.

The cost for Museum entrance on Sundays is $10. 

The Museum of Art is located at 480 E. Broad St. 

We have to let the Museum know how many people to expect.

You can sign up here.

Autumn is a beautiful season with many reasons to celebrate, but holidays, parties, and anniversaries can be challenging for those grieving the loss of a loved one.

If you or someone you know are heartbroken or feeling isolated or wondering how to cope with the future, St. Mark’s support group can help. Join with others on the mourner's path in a supportive community focused on easing and healing grief while honoring the love that never dies.

We meet from 5 to 6:30 p.m. on the second Tuesday each month in the small conference room in the office. The next meeting is October 11. Brenda Hammersley, RN and grief counselor, facilitates the group. Please contact her at 614-330-1436 or b.hammersley@yahoo.com for more information.
