A Message from Our Pastor

We give thanks that your life’s journey has brought you here to visit with us today. Please use this opportunity to get to know us and in turn we would love to get to know you. Look around a bit and become acquainted with the diverse ministries and exciting lives of St. Mark Lutheran.

 

If while you are getting to know us, you have any questions, we would be happy to hear from you. Then, when you feel comfortable, come for a personal visit. We will welcome you just as we are: in the office, at worship, or during some other ministry activity.

 

God has truly blessed us both with a wonderful opportunity to get to know each other and to continue together in our faith journey. May it flourish and deepen our life as God’s people.

 

May God’s peace be with you today and always.

Rev. Kirk Griffin, Pastor

Go to Things to Do at St. Mark

Vacation Bible School (VBS) 2020

 

This year, we are partnering with St. Paul's on York Street to provide attendees, 3 years old through 5th grade, with an online VBS.

 

The theme this year is Secret Messages from God.

When Jesus lived amng us, he often told stories ddabout everyday things like farming, cleaning, and searching for a treasure.

These parables were actually secret messages with clues to the way God wants us to live ... instructions on how to live our best life. We are called to follow and share with others these secret messages from God as Special Agents of Jesus.

 

Join us online Monday, August 10th, through Thursday, August 13th for a prerecorded opportunity to hear one of Jesus' parables and decipher its secret message. Each day, we will also have songs, games, a craft, and snack time.*

* Tote bags with all the necessary suppliesvwill be available for pickup at either St, Mark or at St. Paul's on York Street.

On Friday at 10am, we will celebrate the week with a LIVE EVENT!** 

** The event will be recorded and available to be enjoyed at any time throughout the day.
