ST. MARK OFFICE STAFF:
Due to the current COVID-19 situation, our office and staff will be working mostly remotely. We will be alternating office time on some days, checking voice mail and accepting regular mail and packages, but ask that anyone who does not have essential business to please stay home.
All staff is available by email and phone and will be checking in regularly.
EASTER BASKETS:
The Deacons have assembled and are delivering 180 Easter baskets to give to children within the organizations they support. The cost per basket is $10.00 but you may donate any amount you like. If you would like to help support this you may send a check made payable to St. Mark. Please reference Deacons Easter baskets in the memo.
LETTERS TO DETAINEES:
While all of us are inconvenienced by having to remain in our homes, detainees are confined for months or years to an inhospitable detention center with little or no contact with friends or family. Please take a few minutes to send a word of encouragement to someone at Adelanto.

SEEMSTRESSSES NEEDED:
If you have the gift of sewing, please consider making protective masks with removable and reusable filters. These masks will be used to protect people who are ill and their families who visit them. Jan Philips’ family is one family who is in need, but there are many more. If you wish to participate, please let Pastor Hayes know. You can use the following instructional video and if you have a need for supplies, please email
Hayes@stmarkpresbyterian.org
a detailed list of the materials you need and he will do his best to have them delivered to your home. Thank you! Here is the video:
