TRINITY SUNDAY

This Sunday is Trinity Sunday: The doctrine of the Trinity is one of the most unique and characteristic doctrines of the Christian faith. It simply states that there is one God revealed in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We have many different symbols for the trinity including the triangle which is one shape with three sides. The color for Trinity Sunday is white for holiness. Let’s open our hearts to God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit!

THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING EPWORTH

Thank you Saint Mark for supporting Epworth Children's Home by contributing to the Annual Mother's Day Offering. $2,145 was collected and sent to Epworth. Those funds will be used to transform lives for South Carolina children, youth and families. Epworth's mission is to serve children, youth and families through caring, safe Christian communities, where hurts are healed; hope is nurtured; and faith in God, self and others is developed. Our contributions help make this mission a reality.
