We have a great family day planned for Sunday, September 18 — Rally Day! It’s the day we kick off a new year of worship, study, service and life together! We’ll start with worship — a Unity Service — starting at 10 a.m. Then we’ll move outside to enjoy the company of our St. Mark’s family and friends and share a picnic lunch. Among the special events is an outdoor concert, featuring our own Arden Shindel and friends. Arden, the daughter of Rob and Rebecca Shindel, is a student at Cab Calloway School of the Arts. She has been delighting audiences in the region with recent performances in “James and the Giant Peach” and “Into The Woods.” Also planned are games for the kids, a candy buffet and other fun stuff. Bring a dessert, a comfy lawn chair and your sense of humor!
