Ascension Day Service

Thursday, May 18 | 7:30 p.m.

The Feast of the Ascension takes place 40 days after Easter, when we remember Christ’s triumphant return to heaven, just 10 days before we celebrate the arrival of the Holy Spirit on Pentecost Sunday.

Saint Mark’s Cathedral will be offering a Choral Eucharist at 7:30 p.m. on Ascension Day – the preacher will be The Reverend Bryan Bliss, and the Cathedral Choir will present music by Harold Darke, Ralph Vaughan Williams, and Edward Bairstow.

Please join us for this service either in person or online.

Saint Mark's Spring Picnic

Sunday, May 21 | Following 10:30 a.m. Worship

Join the fun this Sunday at our Spring Picnic! We'll plan for outdoor festivities as weather permits, including a Bounce House with time slots for all ages.

We're bringing back potluck style contributions. Saint Mark's will grill the main course options, and you are welcome to bring a dish to share based on your last name: A-H bring a salad, I-Q bring a dessert, and R-Z bring a side dish.

Remember, your presence is more important than your food contribution. Rain or shine, we'll have a great time!
