2020 Commitment Season continues
Year-by-year St. Mark’s is expanding our work as a committed faith community serving the world. This year is no exception and our range of programs continues to grow. Summertime gives us time to catch our breath and reflect a bit, as well as to follow up on some important work — like making our commitment for 2020.
By far the largest part of our income is annual giving by all of us.
As you expect, at St. Mark’s, you define your commitment in ways that make sense to you and you can be sure that all expressions of commitment count. 
Our commitment makes St. Mark’s what it is and builds it into what we hope it will be. 
The money and priceless time and expertise you and other members of our faith community give all year, every year allow St. Mark’s to be strong and to grow. 

Thanks be to God for your Commitment

Participate in any of St. Mark’s Ministries
At. St. Mark’s, anyone is welcome to participate in anything. Everything we do is a ministry of imperfection. We aim for perfect, but get whatever we get (sometimes VERY good!), and thank God that everything we do is handmade and a work of love.

A gift of hospitality…
Hosting Sunday Refreshments after 8 or 10 am
Our Sunday refreshment time after the morning services is a great gift of hospitality to our faith community and guests. Anyone is welcome to host and snacks need not be elaborate - for about 12 people after the 8 am service or 50-75 after the 10 am service. Vestry members and others will help make coffee (simple - like using a "Mr. Coffee" machine). Sign up on the sign up sheet in Stacy Hall or click the button below or on our homepage.
St. Mark’s Choir welcomes your voice
Choir rehearsals are Thursday evenings at 7 pm and both old and new voices are invited and encouraged! Singers are welcome to sing for part of the year, as well as every Sunday. Most choir members travel at various times of the year and have to miss rehearsals or Sundays, and simply keep Nichole, our choir director informed. NO AUDITION NEEDED. Also, choir members report that they learn more about music and also learn how to sing better - just by being part of our fun, interesting rehearsals. Take the plunge by showing up or, if you would like more information, contact Nichole Dechaine at nichole@smitv.org or call or text 951-312-0308, or Beverly Staples at bev@smitv.org. Bev is our Director of Music and Organist and Nichole is our Director of Vocal Music. 
Monday Meals on Wheels
Volunteer Opportunity welcomes you
Do you have a free hour once a month to help serve our wider community?
Every Monday throughout the year (52 Mondays including Monday holidays) St. Mark’s has a team of volunteers that deliver hot lunches to our area homebound. Our team delivers Route 1 which covers the Solvang area. The route takes about an hour and meals are picked up at around 11 am from Atterdag Village.
We are in need of new volunteer drivers. A volunteer typically does the route once a month or every other month. Please contact Billy Hurbaugh (text or call 805-245-4099) for more information or to sign up.
Our SYV Community Kitchen at St. Mark's (working with many partners) is distributing (delivery and onsite pick up) around 900 quarts of soup, stew, or chili each week (and “extras” – bread, extra vegetables, fruit) to around 700 people each week (approximately 350 people per distribution day) at this point. Our aim is to provide both generous portions and, in as many cases as possible, food for more than one day. Our chefs, led by Chef B, are expanding the menu for the summer months, offering such warm-weather alternatives as hearty salads. More than 50 volunteers are making Food for the SYV work.
Contact Jeannie May or use online form
