11am: Junior High Service Trip Interest Meeting



THIS SUNDAY after Sunday School, all rising 6th-8th grade youth (current 5th-7th graders) and their parents are invited to attend an interest meeting for this Summer's Junior High Service Trip, 11am in the Adams Room. We will be spending July 14-17 at FLOC'S Outdoor Education Center spending time building community, participating in outdoor service projects, and learning about the many important issues facing our local and global environment. Join us this Sunday for more information!
Worship this Week: 9am Children's Chapel!


We are back at Children's Chapel this Sunday! Gather in the Nave at 9am and head up to the Dance Studio with Caroline for a time of singing, creative prayer, and fun worship. Don't forget to bring some loose change to contribute to the Children's Chapel offering! See you there!
NEW Teen Choir! 

Rehearsal 11am, Sundays


We have an exciting new opportunity for preteens and teens to sing together!  The ensemble will be open to kids in 8th grade or above.  The choir will rehearse approximately every other Sunday from 11:00-11:45am in the Music Studio (just at the bottom of the stairs in the undercroft, to the right).  


Rehearsals are currently scheduled for February 7, 21, March 6, and 20.  Please contact Nadine Hathaway (nadinehathaway@verizon.net) if interested.  
LAST WEEK

SKI TRIP!


We had a great time this past weekend in Canaan Valley, WV where 45 St. Mark's parishioners had fun in the snow, played board games, put together a very impressive puzzle in record time, and made some truly wonderful memories. 


If you weren't able to join us, go ahead and mark you calendars for President's Day Weekend of 2017 when we will do it all again!












COMING UP

March 6: Family Fellowship!



We are having another Family Fellowship event on Sunday, March 6 at 11am! This is a time for all St. Mark's families to gather for some snacks, a fun activity, and fellowship with one another. More details coming soon, but be sure to mark your calendars! 

March 12-13: Middle School Lock-In!



Calling all Middle School Youth! Join us for a fun overnight experience in our very own church building! We will play tones of games, eat lots of food, and stay up too late. Our theme for the weekend will be "Telling Stories." You don't want to miss it!
