Worship this Week: 9am Family Eucharist!
This Sunday is our monthly Family Eucharist at the 9am service! Michele will offer a special Children's Reflection, and St. Mark's youth are invited to sign up to be a reader, acolyte, lay server or greeter for the service. Contact Michele Rivard for more information. See you there! |
Thanks to all the parents who joined us last Sunday for the Parents Meeting! For those who could not attend, check out our overview of Winter/spring programs and areas that we need your help.
During the meeting, we discussed 3 new groups that provide opportunities for parents to become more involved in the planning, visioning, and communal life at St. Mark's:
1) Monthly Parents Group: Join other St. Mark's parents for a monthly dinner and conversation in a spiritual community about the triumphs, challenges, and lessons learned in family life.
2) Youth Activities Board: Join this group of passionate parents and parishioners that meet monthly to help plan, organize, and execute the wonderful events and programs that make up our Youth and Family Ministry.
3) Sunday School Planning Group: This monthly group is taking on the task of assessing the Sunday School program in an effort to create a more intentionally connected picture of educational goals for our children's spiritual journey from age 0-18. We are looking for parents and parishioners who are passionate about Christian Education at St. Mark's and those who are new to our community to offer fresh insight.
If you are interested in any of these groups, please contact Caroline for more information.
