Get ready to bid and make a difference! Every bid at this auction will support Saint Mark's mission of radical welcome, inclusion, and love - as well the various ministries and outreach programs we offer.

New items will continue to be added through June 15, so check back often, bid generously, and invite your friends and family to join the fun. Together, we can turn every bid into real ministry.

The Pride Auction isn't the only thing getting new items. With the thick of summer quickly approaching, the needs of the clothing closet have changed. Here's what items the people who rely on the Saint Mark outreach closet will benefit most from right now:

• underwear: boxers not "tightie whities"
• casual pants: sizes 33-40 waist
• shorts: sizes 32-50 waist
• white ankle socks
• shoes: sizes 9-13
• body wipes

Thank you for your continued support in keeping this community resource stocked!

Clergy is working to create a culturally rich and spiritually moving worship service this Sunday. That looks like having a Call to Worship and Prayer of Confession & Pardon focused around Juneteenth, and featuring Black and African American hymns as well as a ministry moment from Sheila Stephens. You won't want to miss it!

You might not want to miss this either. At this year's North Georgia UMC Annual Conference, June 18-20, the conference will vote to decide whether to unify the North and South Georgia conferences into the One Georgia conference. As Saint Mark's lay delegates to the conference, Noey Barrera-Disler and Katie Long will vote on behalf of the congregation.

If you would like more information about this vote, there is an online information session on June 10 at 6:30 pm. You can register here: https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/fV4MdfrjRqWF9ZU08NU7xw#/registration



If you have any questions or feedback after the information session, contact Noey or Katie.

And there's no way we're letting you miss this, Saint Mark will celebrate 150 years of faith, worship, community, and ministry on Sunday, August 16, 2026! Homecoming 2026 will be a joyful celebration of our story, our people, and the generations who have shaped Saint Mark through the years.

As we begin planning this milestone celebration, we need you! If you have old photos, memories, stories, creative ideas, or a passion for Saint Mark’s history, please contact Eric Steverson.

More details to come, but for now… mark your calendar and get excited. You won’t want to miss this celebration 150 years in the making!

We'll be doing something sweet (we're using that word intentionally here) for all the men in the congregation on June 21st. Maybe we'll tell you, or maybe we'll let it be a surprise...

We're all human, and we can't make it to every event. So you missed the first one, the next gathering is today at The Colonnade. This relaxed, come-as-you-are evening of sharing a meal and catching up with familiar faces from the Saint Mark community is open to all so invite a friend and help extend the warmth of our community!

Contact Jason Lowery to reserve your seat.

There's another community that's spreading warmth and acceptance. Crystal Meth Anonymous is a fellowship of people who share their experience, strength and hope with each other so they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from addiction to crystal meth.

This fellowship meets every Thursday.
