Lutheran Disaster Response provides humanitarian aid in Eastern Europe

March 26, 2022

Since the beginning of the war in Ukraine on Feb. 24, millions of people have fled the country and are seeking refuge in neighboring countries including Hungary, Moldova, Poland, Romania and Slovakia. There are major humanitarian concerns for both internally displaced people and refugees. Many of these Ukrainians fleeing their homes need shelter and such basic necessities as food, water and toiletries. Care for people also includes pastoral and psychological support to address the trauma they’ve endured. You can help. Lutheran Disaster Response is accompanying our companions in Ukraine, Hungary, Poland, Romania and Slovakia, as well as such ecumenical partners as Lutheran World Federation and Church World Service, in their humanitarian responses to the crisis. These partners provide refugees with immediate support and supplies such as food, blankets, water and hygiene kits. Your gifts will support people impacted by this crisis. Gifts designated to “Eastern Europe Crisis Response” will be used in full (100%) for direct response to assist those affected. For details on how to give, please read more.

Come and meet our pastoral candidate Sunday, Feb. 20

February 12, 2022

St. Mark’s Council is pleased to announce a special congregational meeting Sunday, February 20, to approve a new pastor. The candidate has been unanimously approved by both the Call Committee and the Church Council — the culmination of a process that began in 2019. This is an exciting time for St. Mark’s and we are planning a special weekend. Check the email that was sent to all members last week for details on a “Meet and Greet.” Then join us Sunday, February 20, for a Unity Service at 11:15 a.m. (There will be no 8:45 service that day.) Our candidate will preach at that service and our special congregational meeting will follow at noon. I strongly encourage all members of St. Mark’s to be present Sunday, January 20, to vote and show our support. Thank you! Kitty Dombroski, President, St. Mark’s Council
