Saint Mark Lutheran Church

Saint Mark will be partnering with our neighbor church First Congregational Church this year for a week of Vacation Bible School (VBS). This year’s VBS will take place at First Congregational Monday through Friday, August 13-17. Children, newborn through grade 5, are encouraged to register to participate at a cost of $10 for the week. It will begin at 8:30 a.m. each day and end at 11:30 a.m., but children can be dropped off at 8:00 a.m. and picked up by 12 noon. A Closing Meal will take place on Friday evening from 5:30- 7:30 pm.

Saint Mark will open its doors the fourth Saturday of the month beginning this Saturday, June 23, and invites community members to walk its labyrinth, 9 a.m. to noon.

Walking the Labyrinth, located in the church lounge, offers an opportunity for meditation and reflection. Having the church open on Saturdays through October during the Saturday Market season will allow Saint Mark to welcome members of the community when they come into town to do their weekly market shopping.

Saint. Mark is located diagonally across Marion Street from the southwest corner of the Saturday Market.

St. Mark Child Development Center will once again have its annual Carnival! Set Friday, June 8th, from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. for an evening of food, fun, and fellowship. If the weather works to our advantage, there will be outside activities too! Contact Maureen Summers, director, if you would like to volunteer to help.

Please join us for a fun night of trivia and dessert on April 21 6:30-8:30 in the Fellowship Hall. This serves as a fundraiser for our youth, particularly those headed to the National Youth Gathering this summer. The cost is $10 per person to play and teams are made up of eight people each. You are welcome to preplan your team or join a team when you arrive. There will be a variety of questions throughout the night and a break for dessert. Don’t worry, you can “buy” help on some answers as well. Questions? Contact Jennifer Morace 503.363.3920.
