Dear Saint Mark Family,
God’s grace and love be with you.
I want to begin my first senior pastor note of the year by expressing by deep gratitude to each of you for your commitment to Saint Mark and the life and ministries of our great church.
Thank you for all the ways you showed up and supported our church in 2024. Through your prayers, presence, gifts, service, and witness, you enabled us to do the good work of ministry and make a positive impact on so many lives, to the glory of God.
We grew in membership, worship attendance, membership participation, fellowship, and community outreach. Three of our members started the process of ordination, becoming licensed candidates; two other members became certified lay servants; and another member is pursuing becoming a licensed local pastor. Because of your generosity, we met all our projected ministry expenses for the year, and we continue to grow in the number of persons we serve through our different life-changing ministries.
Thank you, Saint Mark. God is doing a wonderful thing in the life of our church, and I am thankful and glad to be a part of it with you.
Blessings,
