2019-2020 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 2019 and 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* Asterisk indicates Sustaining Commitment

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. |
