• Paper Towels
• 13 gallon trash bags
• Sponges with scouring pad backing
• Hand soap in dispensers
• Spray cleaners
• Cat Litter

Sunday, September 14 @ St. Mark's: Following the 9AM worship service, come hear about a new initiative within the Episcopal Church called Invite, Welcome, Connect. It is a practical and intentional approach to building a more vibrant and welcoming Episcopal Church by focusing on the core values of invitation, hospitality, and belonging. The newly formed Welcoming Team will be working on this initiative and we will be sharing some of our ideas.

Sunday, September 21 @ St. Mark's: Following the 9AM worship service, join Russ Montal and Jenn Oberlander for a conversation about St. Mark's current finances, closing out 2025, and planning for next year.

Our first luncheon event for this program year is Tuesday, September 30 at 12:00 pm at The Horse in Norfolk MA (formerly The Horse and Carriage). Please contact Nancy Antico if you plan to attend.

If you are not on the Ladies' Group email list and would like to be, please let Nancy Antico know and she will be happy to add you.

All pets (leashed or in carriers, as well as stand-in photos) and stuffies are invited and welcomed to worship on Sunday, October 5 at 9am (11am at Trinity) for a blessing.

This service will be followed by our special Ministry Fair!

September 28 - October 26: St. Mark's Annual Appeal & Stewardship Campaign

Check out the new blue drop box in our parking lot where you can donate gently used clothing, textiles, shoes, and purses for reuse. 

Through this new program, we are partnering with Big Brothers/Big Sisters and CMRK who will empty this bin weekly. 

As a host for the bin, St. Mark's is receiving revenue from the sale of these donations. 

So, when you clean out your closet, or outgrow clothing, please bag it up and donate here! Thank you!

In early spring all signs pointed to the winding down of One Family. As the result of faith and a persevering spirit, One Family has been brought back and St. Mark's has renewed our commitment to collecting liquid laundry soap ($1.25 at Dollar Tree) on the second Sunday of each month. Our goal is to collect 50 bottles each month. Bottles may be left on the labeled rolling cart in the atrium.
