Holy Week is a precious and momentous time for the St. Mark’s family and all of our siblings in Christ. It is the week we commemorate the death and resurrection of Jesus, our Lord. We start with Palm Sunday, which recalls a day of public acclaim for Jesus. On this day, we will gather for our traditional service at 8:45 a.m. and our contemporary service at 11:15 a.m. See the full schedule by clicking “read more.” If you cannot join us in-person, most services will be live-streamed on our YouTube channel.

GriefShare group to start March 4 at St. Mark’s

February 11, 2024

If you’ve lost a loved one, you know the anguish and the hollow place that once was filled with that precious person. How does life even work when such a powerful bond is severed? Cecilia Cronk knows these feelings. She lost her husband, Homer, in 2018, after 54 years of marriage. Three months after Homer died, Cecelia decided to join a GriefShare support group. She knows the strength it provided for her and the value of the connections made in those meetings, with others who understood. Now she is helping to start a GriefShare group at St. Mark’s. The group will start its first 13-week session at St. Mark’s at 7 p.m., Monday, March 4. “Going to GriefShare meetings was such a comfort after Homer died,” Cecelia said. “I learned that it is OK that my grief journey was not the same as everyone else’s.” Read more to learn how to participate.

What’s your story?

July 8, 2023

If you have encountered the transformative love of Jesus, you have a great story to tell and we want to hear it. In fact, we need to hear it! Jesus’ love gives us hope for the future and hope for each other. All of us are strengthened when we share that good news. So please join us for “What’s Your Story?” — our Adult Forum summer series, starting at 10 a.m. July 9 in the Great Room, as we share our faith stories and real-life experiences of God’s work in our lives. Margie Dodson, who has been at St. Mark’s since 2007, leads us off this Sunday.
