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 Monday’s 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. 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.

Also, commitment forms have beenmailed for those who prefer the “traditional” approach to making their commitment - and the "hard copy" forms are also available at church. Morning food delivery ministry expanding
SYV Food Rescue for hungry neighbors Do you have 40 minutes or so one morning a week to provide a regular delivery of food for hungry neighbors? Three local businesses give their “day old” bakery, deli, and produce to pickup and take to neighbors who receive it each morning in the People Helping People parking lot. Substitute Drivers (occasional help) also welcome! This hands-on ministry is quick and easy - and you meet new people.
