St. Mark's Weekly E-blast

We gather, connect, and serve so all may experience the love of Christ.

Greetings in the name of Christ,

I am filled with excitement as I share that this Sunday, March 16th, between each service at the Magee Campus, we will be hosting our annual Missions Fair in the courtyard! This year, we are incredibly blessed to welcome 11 mission groups, each doing remarkable work to spread the love of Christ in communities both near and far.


The Missions Fair is more than just an event—it’s a chance for us as a congregation to come together and connect with these incredible groups that are doing God’s work all over the world. It’s an opportunity to learn about the lives being touched and transformed through their efforts, and to see firsthand how the funds we contribute help them continue their vital missions.


What’s so powerful is that your support—through prayer, donations, and encouragement—directly impacts the lives of so many people. When we give, we are not only providing financial resources, but we are also sharing the love of Christ in a very real way. Your generosity helps these organizations spread the hope and light of Jesus to places and people who need it most.


I am personally so excited for this event and for the chance to celebrate how God is using our church to make a difference. I invite you to come out, meet the mission groups, and discover ways you can get involved. This is truly a wonderful time for us to reflect on how we can continue to support and uplift these ministries.


Thank you for all the love, support, and prayers you have poured into our missions committee. Your commitment is what makes this work possible, and I am deeply grateful for each and every one of you.


Blessings,

Pastor Tu'ulauena Lolohea

Lenten Missions Projects

Summer Buddy Packs


During Lent each year, we collect a different food item each week to help feed students at Estes and Nash Elementary Schools over the summer. Did you pick up your bookmark on Sunday? This Sunday, we will collect packages of tuna, chicken, or Vienna sausage (please bring containers that do not require a can opener and are shelf stable). We are collecting at both campuses. You can make a huge difference in the life of a child this summer!

Stuffies for Sunday School


Stop by the "Sunday School" donation table between services on Sunday, March 9, 23, and 30 to drop off a new stuffed animal (small - medium size) for our local police and fire departments. Stuffed animals are given to children during crisis situations.

Join us between services on Sunday, March 16, at the Magee Campus and learn all about the organizations that we help to support with our Mission dollars.
