GUEST MUSICIANS THIS SUNDAY

We are excited to welcome guest musicians, The Promised Land Singers, this Sunday. They will sing most of the musical portions of the traditional service. Please make them feel welcome.

The Promised Land Singers are a family quartet from Oconee County, South Carolina, dedicated to sharing the message of Christ through music. Known for their heartfelt harmonies and uplifting performances, the group presents a blend of Southern Gospel, Bluegrass, and traditional Christian music that appeals to audiences of all ages. Drawing from strong family values and a deep love for ministry, The Promised Land Singers have been blessed

to sing in churches, community events, and concerts throughout the region. 

The Great 50 Days:

“Christ has died, Christ is risen, Christ will come again!” Every time we celebrate Holy Communion, we remind ourselves of this good news. From now until May 24th we will celebrate the resurrection of Jesus. In the church Easter is actually 50 days long! Jesus rose on Easter Sunday, but he appeared to his disciples for 40 days and then ascended into heaven. Then ten days later he sent the Holy Spirit to anoint the disciples at Pentecost. Make time to celebrate the new life that we have through the resurrection of Jesus, not just today, but every day!

Next Sunday is Pentecost! Pentecost is the 50th day after the resurrection. Jesus appeared to his disciples for 40 days and then ascended into heaven. Ten days later was the Jewish festival of the first fruits, also called Pentecost. While believers in God from every nation of the known world were coming to Jerusalem, God poured out the Holy Spirit on the disciples, and they proclaimed the Good News in all the languages of the people present. On Sunday, May 24th, we will be celebrating and dramatizing these events. Come to church and celebrate the coming of the Holy Spirit!

All Saint Mark Sunday School classes are invited to participate together in an intergenerational experience. On Sunday, June 7 we will gather in the Commons Room at 10am to share an interactive class for all ages. Reach out to Julie with any questions. 

Join the Berries for their popular Fish Fry event on Saturday, June 13th at 5pm in the Commons Room. As always, we will feast on delicious fish caught and prepared by Paul Herren & Eddie Rembert and fries prepared by David Powell. Please bring a side dish or dessert to share. We will provide water and iced tea. We will also play Trivia! Please RSVP to Diana Palmer by Saturday, June 6th.
