Sunday, July 13th @ 9:45am
Over the past two years, some St. Mark's members have been sponsoring the My Daddy Taught Me That Track & Field Team because of the personal relationships we have made at WNC Baptist Fellowship Church.

Born and raised here, Keynon has deep roots in the community and a passion for uplifting and empowering youth.

Hood Huggers Tour - RECAP!
A small group of St. Mark's members went on a Hood Huggers tour of the Burton Street Community the rave reviews are in! "That was excellent!" - "I didn't know that about Asheville - Wow!" - "When can we do another tour?"
We began at the future site of the Blue Note Junction with the smooth sounds of Virtuous singing three of her original songs about unity. We learned about the past of the community with an oral history given by one of its elders, Mr. Cotton. And we learned of what's happening now and the future plans for Burton St. from DeWayne Barton. There was also enough time to tour the Peace Gardens. Questions about the tour? You can ask Linda & Russ, Evelyn & Christian, Mary & Dan, Natalie, Marcie, or Debbie. Stay tuned for the next opportunity to join us on a Hood Huggers Tour!
