 At
St. Mark’s, we work hard to care for all the gifts we have been given,
especially people, property, and money. As Christians, we recognize that
we have been blessed by God’s goodness in many ways and that all our
resources belong to God. We also believe that we express our love for God
and one another by the ways we use our resources, and that we are called
to generous giving, as individuals and as a community.
Vestry
The Vestry is
composed of two Wardens, a Treasurer, a Clerk, nine other parishioners and
the Rector. The Vestry has three primary responsibilities: to take care of
the parish finances, to take care of the parish buildings, and to choose
individuals to fill various positions of parish leadership: the election of
a rector, the choice of delegates to the diocesan convention and the
selection of other individuals as the diocesan canons and parish by-laws may
stipulate.
The
officers (wardens, treasurer, and clerk) are elected at the Annual Meeting
for a term of one year. The nine other Vestry members also are elected at
Annual Meeting for staggered three year terms. All regular Vestry meetings
are posted on the parish calendar and parishioners are welcome to attend.
Childcare/Nursery
All children are
welcome at the worship service, however, childcare is available from 9 to
12:00 for children under the age of 8. Parents may bring their children to
the church for communion and pick up the church school age children to bring
to Church school after the service. Young children are cared for until
after Coffee and Conversation. A light snack is provided.
adult and family fellowship
Following the 9:45 am Sunday worship service is
an opportunity for parishioners to socialize in the undercroft or outside in
the summer. Volunteer parishioners prepare coffee and tea; bring milk for
coffee, a drink for children and treats to go with the coffee. Cleanup is
usually finished half an hour after the church service is finished. This is
a good chance to meet fellow parishioners in a relaxed setting. A sign up
sheet and directions are located in the kitchen.
Landscaping Committee
The committee is responsible for maintenance of the church grounds. There
are areas on the church grounds, a particular garden or planters,
individuals may take responsibility for maintaining. Twice a year, in the
spring and fall, the committee arranges a clean-up day inviting the entire
parish to participate.
New Members Committee
The group is
dedicated to welcoming all new individuals and families to St. Mark’s. In
addition to helping people feel welcome at St. Mark’s and joining our very
active Parish life the group organizes social events, develops printed
material and maintains the name badges.
