St. Mark's Weekly E-blast
We gather, connect, and serve so all may experience the love of Christ.

It’s finally happening! St. Mark’s UMC is launching a brand-new modern worship service at our Magee Campus, designed to reach new people in a new way.
Starting THIS SUNDAY, March 2, we will gather each week for a worship experience that is vibrant, meaningful, and engaging. This service will feature modern music, interactive elements, and a welcoming atmosphere where all can experience the love of Christ in a fresh way. Whether you're looking for a different style of worship, seeking a space to connect with God and others, or inviting a friend who may not feel at home in a traditional setting, this service is for you!
We believe that worship should be a time of inspiration and transformation, where we come as we are and leave renewed in faith. Our mission remains the same: We gather, connect, and serve so all may experience the love of Christ—and this new service is one more way we are living that out.
Join us at the Magee Campus every Sunday at 11:30 am and be part of this new chapter in our church’s ministry. Come, bring a friend, and let's worship together in a way that speaks to the heart of our faith and our community.
If you have any questions or want to be involved in helping shape this new worship experience, reach out to me! We can't wait to see what God will do!
See you soon,
Pastor Lynn

Prayer Bead Workshop
Often people use the Lenten season to develop new spiritual practices. An important discipline for Christians is an active prayer life. There will be a Prayer Bead Workshop on Saturday, March 1, from 9 am to about noon in rooms 17/18 on the Magee campus. The participants will assemble their own set of prayer beads, and then spend time learning how to use them to enhance their prayer life. The cost of the materials is $5.00, paid at the beginning of class.
