The ReMarks

October 15, 2025

After a weekend of glitter, grace, and gospel at the Atlanta Pride Parade, we’re trading parade floats for hay bales as we gear up for the Fall Festival!


This Sunday, Sherrie Graham will continue our Knowing Who We Are sermon series. Come for the fellowship, stay for the faith



2 Timothy 3:14-17

 

Church News

Moments from Pride

This past Sunday was one of the best Pride Sundays at Saint Mark to date. Rev. Josh Noblitt delivered a strong sermon, and the choir's music moved the hearts many. We also got a spot on the local news!


Peer into all the joyous experiences that the Saint Mark staff captured by click this link.

 

It’s Staff Appreciation Month at Saint Mark!

All month long, we’re celebrating our amazing team - Pastor Paula, Pastor Charlotte, Deana, Nick, Matthew, Johnny, Terry, and Dale. They lead, sing, teach, clean, cook, fix, pray, and love our church so well.


Join us in showing your gratitude! Write a note, share a kind word, or simply say, “You’re appreciated.”


We’ll honor our staff together on Sunday, October 26 at 11:00 a.m.

Special Note

There was a mistake in last week's Saint Mark Saturdays.

A claim was made about the church office being closed in celebration of Columbus Day.


At Saint Mark, we celebrate Indigenous People’s Day! We honor those who were here first; who gave, and continue to give so much to our world.


“The General Conference of The United Methodist Church affirms the sacredness of Native American people, their languages, cultures, and gifts to the church and the world, past and present. As people of faith, we celebrate and honor Native American peoples and commemorate their histories and cultures. We call upon the world, and the people of The United Methodist Church to receive and affirm the gifts of Native Americans, including American Indians, Alaska Natives, and Native Hawaiians. Together, we are those created in God’s image.”
