WNC Baptist Fellowship in Need

A St. Mark's member recently made us aware of a significant HVAC repair need facing our friends at WNC Baptist Fellowship, and their leadership confirmed to us that they could use some help. Our church council has committed some funds toward the need, and if you'd like to help individually you can make a check to St. Mark's with "WNC Baptist" in the memo line.

Welcome Olena Derkach

What's the deal with Heaven?

What's the deal with Hell?

This Lent, check out our new video series Ground Floor Faith, where we deal with some of the grounding questions of faith in the time that it takes to ride our elevator to the ground floor. These short videos will be posted every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday during Lent on our Facebook, Instagram, TikTok (new!) and YouTube accounts. 

Offering Letters from Bread for the World

Sunday, March 24th @ 9:45am

Please join us on Sunday, March 24th in the Fellowship Hall to write letters to our members of Congress on behalf of Bread for the World, a Christian advocacy organization that works to decrease hunger and poverty through federal policy, and is sponsored by the Evangelism and Christian Action Teams. Information, sample letters, and writing supplies will be available so all you’ll need to do is to spend a few minutes writing letters a few letters! Questions - contact Linda Kinsinger.

There is still time to commit! St. Mark's has an opportunity to be good stewards by paying off a building loan coming due this summer and redirecting $1,300 in monthly payments. To make it happen takes $46,000, and we've already received commitments for $41,000! Can you help us finish it off?
