We are happy to resume youth activities on Easter at St. Mark's! We will be hosting an Easter Egg Hunt after the 9:30am Easter service. Please complete this form so we can plan ahead. Without having youth activities in the past couple of years, predicting participation is difficult!

Additionally, we are pleased to offer prefilled Easter Baskets as a fundraiser this year. More information is in the form (including a pictures) with the ability to order online. We will also be available next Sunday, April 3rd, to take orders.

Thank you and Happy Lent!

We will be bringing our youth back to serve on the altar starting with Easter Week. If have a child or teen who is interested in serving, please complete this form and we will reach out about training (or a refresher for some).

The Altar Servers are a crucial and important part of our service and we have missed them the past 2 years! Volunteer hour letters can be provided if needed for outside organizations or school as well.

Thank you in advance!

We'd like to help a fellow Parishioner, Erin Hunter, who has MS and needs to get moving again. She would like to get some devices to help her continue to be active. Follow the link, which includes much more information about her, MS, and her needs, and please help if you can:  Erin's Fundraiser!

Easter is fast approaching, and it is time to celebrate our risen Lord!  As a tradition, our parishioners have donated plants in remembrance of, in thanksgiving for, or in honor of loved ones. If you would like to continue this tradition, please consider donating a plant, or maybe even several!
 
All the plants are grown at Lyons’ Greenhouse in town, so you'll be supporting a local business as well! The cost is $20 per plant and the deadline for ordering is Wednesday, April 13th. 

Checks should be made out to St. Mark’s with a notation of “flowers”. Order forms and cash/checks can be mailed to or dropped off at the church in the mailbox (which is a secure drop box). 
 
Online Ordering is available here.

​The Outreach Committee will be providing our parishioners with a wonderful opportunity during Lent to help the many homeless people in Boston. We will be working with MANNA, a ministry of St Paul's Cathedral in Boston. There are 3 very important things they need for these individuals: 

• Socks (new)
• $5 gift cards to McDonald's Restaurants 
• CharlieCards so they can ride on the MBTA (or money so they can be purchased by the staff)

Rev. Jennifer McCracken from St Paul's manages this program. She will coming out to speak to us during Lent  and to explain more about MANNA.

​If you're interested in participating in this great program, there will be a box in the Narthex for the socks. Gift cards or checks can be given to the clergy or any member of the Outreach Committee. Thank you for your help!

More info about the MANNA ministry here.

The Faith and Spirituality Ministry is happy to announce that after a two year postponement due to Covid, it will be sponsoring its fifth annual Spring Retreat from April 22 through April 24.  Once again we will be going to St. Margaret’s Convent and staying in the house pictured here, directly overlooking Duxbury Bay. The house is lovely, located in a private area that is beautiful and peaceful. We are fortunate to have the retreat program facilitated by Sister Sarah.
 
The house can accommodate 11 people. It is handicapped accessible with one twin, one single bedroom and a full bath on the first floor and one twin and six single bedrooms with 2 full baths on the second floor.  The cost is $80. per person (Confidential subsidized funding is available if needed. Please see either Tina Shinnick or Lisa Conroy, Wardens).
 
Space is limited so we urge you to sign up as soon as possible by contacting Janet Pineault or the church office.  Payment is due by Sunday, April 3rd, payable by check to St. Mark’s Retreat.  We will leave Foxboro on Friday at 2:00pm; late arrivals can be arranged.  Program will begin with the evening meal after all have arrived.
