​Starting This Sunday — New Service Time!
We’re excited to share that beginning this Sunday, our worship service will move to 9:30 AM.
We hope this new time makes it easier for you and your family to join us. See you there!

The Prayer Shawl Ministry gathers to knit and crochet shawls, blankets, prayer squares, and more. Each creation becomes a tangible sign of God’s comfort—offered to those who are sick, grieving, celebrating, or simply in need of a little extra warmth.

All are welcome! You’re invited to make a piece for donation or work on your own project. Whether you’re a beginner or an expert, you’ll find patient teachers, friendly conversation, and plenty of encouragement.

We meet every Wednesday at 7:30pm on Zoom (NO MEETING DURING HOLY WEEK) and these Fridays at 10:30am in person at the church:

• April 10
• April 24

Come weave a little joy with us. Contact Pat Dent to join in!

The St. Mark’s Peace Group warmly invites you to join us for Centering Prayer, a quiet, welcoming practice of Christian silent prayer. Together, we rest in God’s presence, deepening our relationship with God.

​All are welcome, whether you are new to Centering Prayer or have an established practice. Come as you are and share in a peaceful start to your Saturday.

Sunday, April 12th, following the Service
​
Join us on April 12th during Coffee and Conversation for a special workshop on using tech to connect with our community. Whether you’re seeking a fix or just learning to connect, come get some coffee, treats, and tech tips.

Sunday, April 19th, following the 9:30 Service

We are delighted to share that our own parishioner, Colin Browning, has recently published a memoir titled A Leopard On My Roof: My World War II Childhood, now available on Amazon. Colin will be joining us for a special Coffee & Conversation gathering to speak about his book, his writing journey, and the remarkable experiences that shaped his early life.

After retiring from an international banking career, Colin spent over twenty years writing this memoir of his childhood in Southeast Asia during World War II. In 1941, his family fled Burma during the Japanese invasion—he and his mother escaped to India, while his father later survived a 300-mile journey through jungle and mountains to reunite with them. The family eventually returned to the United States, carrying the lasting physical and emotional effects of their wartime experiences.
​
This promises to be a meaningful and engaging conversation about resilience, history, and the power of storytelling. All are welcome to attend. 

Join us for our next Ladies’ Group gathering in the undercroft for Bunco Night! Bring your favorite light supper or dessert and beverage of choice. You will need $5.00 for Bunco and $3.00 for our left/right/center evening ender. We need at least 12 participants to play.

Please RSVP by April 23 if you plan to come to Nancy Antico 

If you are not receiving the emails and would like to, Nancy will be happy to add you to the mailings.​

Sunday, April 12th - Deadline to bring liquid laundry detergent donations.

Second Soap Sunday is a call to action to support families served by our Deanery One Family Outreach. Please help St. Mark's meet our monthly goal of collecting 50 bottles of liquid laundry detergent (40–48 oz.) such as those sold at the Dollar Tree for $1.25.
​
These donations allow One Family to provide each household with a bag of essential items, such as paper towels and other necessities not covered by SNAP benefits. Your contribution makes an important difference for local families—thank you for giving generously.

The Confirmation Class has taken over collecting new socks and underwear for homeless families. We have partnered with Medway House, which currently supports seven families, and we need new socks and underwear of all sizes for all genders and ages.

​A collection box is located in the Narthex/Foyer. These donations may seem small, but they are essentials that bring comfort, dignity, and warmth. Toss a package into your cart, bring it to church, and help us sock it to the need with love. Thank you for making a difference, one pair at a time!
