Saint Mark to Host Organist Aaron Tan on January 17th

Posted on: January 2nd, 2020 by Peter Hoelter No Comments

Saint Mark Lutheran Church and The America Guild of Organists present Aaron Tan on January 17th, 2020. Aaron will be presenting a chat at 6:30pm following by an organ recital at 7:30pm. This event is free and open to the public.

About Aaron

For over 10 years, concert organist Aaron Tan enjoyed simultaneous careers as both a professional scientist and musician. While doing graduate and post-doctoral research in polymer science at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Aaron also competed in both piano and organ competitions, gave concerts across the country, and served as an organist for many of the area’s significant churches. In this pre-concert presentation, Aaron will share insights into how he balanced his dual careers, and offer some thoughts on how music and science might not actually be so different after all.

VBS in July on Monday Evenings

Posted on: June 23rd, 2019 by Peter Hoelter No Comments

We will be trying a Vacation Bible School type experience for all ages on Monday evenings in July. We are planning to start with a light supper at 6:00 p.m., followed by lesson on the Biblical stories in our stained glass windows, games an crafts, and a wind- down “bedtime story” around 8:00 p.m. You do not need to be at all five Monday evenings to be involved. If you would like to sign up to help with just one meal, craft, or help with a specific area, call the church office. Lots of fun to be had by ALL!

Faith Dialogues Coming in June

Posted on: May 9th, 2019 by Peter Hoelter No Comments

Did you ever wonder about Jesus’ parable about the log in your own eye and the speck in your neighbor’s eye? Are we meant to laugh at ourselves while at the same time being convicted of the truth of our willingness to see fault in the other? What else in scripture can be seen as humorous?

Come and find out Thursday, June 13th, 7 p.m. as Father Tony Petrotta shares “Reflections on Scripture, Humor and Faith”. Pick up a brochure which outlines all three presentations (13th, 16th and 30th) and share with neighbors and friends, especially those who may be ready to look at Christianity from a little more lighthearted approach!
