For your thought:
[B]ut he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is made perfect in weakness.” So, I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me.
--2 Corinthians 12:9
The offices of St. Mark's will be closed on Monday, July 5th in observance of Independence Day.

Summer Conversations with St. Mark's Clergy |
|
Please call to sign up now!
We are eager to hear how the Spirit is moving in your life, and we are honored to discern how we can bless and support you in this season of change and transition. As a clergy team, our (admittedly ambitious) goal is to meet with all members of St. Mark's at least once this summer.
Please help us achieve our goal by calling the church office
Monday-Thursday, 9AM-1PM at 505-262-2484 to set up your summer meeting
with one of St. Mark's Clergy as soon as possible.
Children and youth, as well as adults; visitors and newcomers, as well as longtime members; geographically distant as well as local members: Everyone is encouraged to make an appointment! Just let us know what days/times are most convenient for you and if you would prefer an "in person", phone, or zoom appointment. Our Parish Administrator, Jennifer Lind, will be glad to assist you in scheduling your meeting, then the clergy will contact you to confirm details (including location for "in person" meetings) the week of your appointment.
Thank you for helping St. Mark's continuing to grow as a robust, healthy, spiritually connected community, by reaching out to make your appointment with a member of St. Mark's clergy today!
