Save the date and join us for St. Mark’s popular Christmas Bazaar, which will be held from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 6.

You’ll find unique handmade gifts and crafts, gift baskets, delicious soups and baked goods, floral arrangements, a fun Lionel train display and much more! A small collection of “white elephant” items also will be available — and who knows what you’ll find there?!

All are welcome to join us and admission is free. This is a one-day event that you don’t want to miss!

You also are welcome to participate in our annual Advent Prayer Vigil, which will be held simultaneously from 9 a.m. to noon in our Sanctuary. Advent music is the backdrop for silent prayer and meditation and an Advent Prayer Guide will be provided. Many find this a refreshing and meaningful interlude during the busy-ness of the holidays.

Join us throughout the Season of Lent

January 31, 2026

Lent is a time when we are invited to deepen our faith by engaging in different practices. Here at St. Mark’s, we will have several opportunities as we journey toward the cross. On Ash Wednesday, February 18 at 7 p.m., we will gather for worship in our sanctuary. Worship will include the imposition of ashes and the celebration of Holy Communion. The service will also be livestreamed to our YouTube channel for those who cannot join us in person. Pastor Kelley will also offer “Ashes to Go” throughout the day on Ash Wednesday. Depending on the weather, plans are to offer this from 8 to 9 a.m. on the front lawn, from noon to 1 p.m. in the parking lot and from 3 to 4 p.m. on the front lawn. Our mid-day Lenten midweek series begins Wednesday, February 25. We will gather for a short worship service based on the Lenten devotional “Love Outpoured.”

Joining our neighbors at PCOC for their final worship service

January 10, 2026

Please join us at 10 a.m. Sunday, Jan. 11, as we worship with our neighbors at Presbyterian Church of the Covenant (503 Duncan Rd.) to celebrate their more than 83 years of ministry in the Bellefonte community. It is a bittersweet meeting, as this will be PCOC’s final worship service as a congregation. They will close the doors of their church for the last time. We want to gather with our brothers and sisters in Christ to worship our Lord and honor and celebrate with joy the good work the PCOC congregation has done in this place. The service begins at 10 a.m., with a reception to follow. Please join us as we thank the Lord for the ministry of the Presbyterian Church of the Covenant. We hope to see you there!
