The ReMarks

Good morning Saint Mark, and welcome to July!

This Sunday is the 4th Sunday after Pentecost which represents themes of perseverance in doing good and facing life’s storms with faith.

Our very own, Michelle Levan will be preaching a stand alone sermon this Sunday titled 'The Finding.'

Church News

Chorister Camp

While we were hopeful to have Chorister Camp this year, we realized that there is more groundwork and relationship building that we need to engage in to make this successful.

Over the next few months, we will begin to form relationships with the Atlanta area schools so that a Chorister program at Saint Mark can be successful in the future!

School Supply Drive

Mark your calendars and sharpen your pencils. Before we know it, school will be back, which means it's time for back-to-school supplies!!

This year, Saint Mark's school supply drive benefits Hope Hill Elementary School as well as the Atlanta Public School System. From Wednesday, July 2nd, through Sunday, July 27th, bring your unopened school supply donations to the supply drop-off bins in the Narthex, or give your supplies to Madi directly! Supplies will be donated on July 29th, just in time for the first day of school on August 1st! For a detailed list of supplies, click this link or scan the QR code on the flyer above.

We will only have one worship service at 10AM on July 6, 2025.
