There is still time to sign up to be part of a small group at St. Mark's starting on November 6! As we approach Thanksgiving, Advent, and Christmas, we hope that this time focused in God's word and in community with others will help to strengthen us and focus our attention on God's great gifts for us. 

Small groups will meet for 5 weeks, from November 6 - December 11, either at church on Sunday during the Faith Formation hour, or during the week. This is a wonderful opportunity to grow in faith, meet new people, and strengthen relationships through reading scripture, discussing weekly topics, and praying with one another.

Questions? Contact Deacon Katie

A St. Mark's member recently reached out to Pastor Matt about donating a car to a refugee family in need, saying:

We have always preferred to give away a useful item rather than sell or trash it. So when it came to the second vehicle sitting in the driveway, which has given us such dependable service over the years, we wanted to share it with an Afghan or Ukrainian family needing transportation through Lutheran Services Carolinas. We have been fortunate enough to receive help when times were tough. It is only fitting to pass on the blessings whenever the opportunity arises. Thanks be to God!

We invite you to wear RED

this Sunday, October 30th, as we celebrate Reformation Sunday!
