Mutual Care

St. Mark’s has several programs to benefit parishioners with special needs or in circumstances in which parishioners need help.
 
Lay Eucharistic Visitors
St. Mark’s provides training for volunteer parishioners to share the pastoral and sacramental ministries of the church. The Lay Eucharistic visitors take the Communion elements to persons who are house-bound or who cannot otherwise participate in the Eucharist at regular services. The Communion elements are blessed during the regular church services, and are given to the Lay Eucharistic Visitors for that day, in order that the house-bound parishioners and others in hospitals and nursing homes share the same bread and wine that the congregation shares. The Lay Eucharistic Visitors perform a simple order of worship and share information about the parish.

Email Prayer Group
Prayer requests are forwarded by email to prayer group participants, and included on the prayer list in the Sunday service leaflet and the ERoar. Members of the Prayer Group pray for those on the prayer list, and they are included in the Prayers of the People at Sunday services.

Transportation Guild
St. Mark’s provides transportation assistance to parishioners and friends – whether to church, doctors’ appointments, the pharmacy or the grocery store or other places the parishioners (or friends) need to go.
