November 1st - ALL SAINTS DAY

One of the seven principal feasts of the church year, and recognized as one of four ideal seasonal days for administering holy baptism. Let us know if you or your child would like to be baptized on this day. Let's make it a special All Saints Day.

Private Prayer Requests

Prayer is one of the most meaningful ways we care for and support one another. In addition to the names included in our public Prayers of the People, St. Mark's is establishing a separate private prayer list for requests that will be held in confidence and not shared during worship.

If you would like us to pray privately for you or someone you love, please text Tim Frawley or contact Martha Johnson. You do not need to provide details---God already knows the needs of your heart.

Bible Study Class Wednesdays at 10:00
