Stewardship 2020: Christ is Here!
Through many months of uncertainty, worry, and risk, the mission and ministry of Saint Mark's has carried on, day in and day out: on Locust Street, online, and in the streets where people are in need. We remain a community that gathers in faith, serves in love, and proclaims hope, through Jesus Christ. Commitment Sunday is November 15. Please visit the Stewardship portion of our website to learn more and make a pledge to support our work and ministry.
Mission & Ministry - Fall/Winter 2020
The mission of the Gospel and the ministry of Christ carry on even in the midst of pandemic. Recent easing of restrictions also allows us to expand our capacity for ministry, but we are moving forward with caution and a concern for the health and well-being of all. Please join us online or in-person as you are comfortable.
