Welcome Guests - If this is your first Sunday here at St. Mark’s, may you find a gracious welcome. Your questions are welcome. Please note that there is music at the 10:15 am service only. Even if you might be here just for this day, may St. Mark’s feel like home.

Today at St. Mark’s:

-The altar flowers this morning are given to the glory of God by Patricia & Robert Abboud in thanksgiving of all their blessings and by Nancy & Mike Loring in celebration of Nancy Jarratt’s 85th birthday and Kevin & Jenny Loring’s 5th wedding anniversary.

-Childcare is offered every Sunday morning in the nursery from 7:45 until 11:30 a.m. The nursery is located in the last classroom on the left of the hallway in the education building.

-We offer prayers for those celebrating their birthday this week: Dan Nelsen, Mitchell Harte, Nancy Jarratt, Jan Engelhardt, Cortlin Maiworm, Dillon Mathewson, and Jane Miller; and those celebrating the anniversary of their marriage: Karen & Michael Worsley and Janet & Damian Sepanik.

-Offering Envelopes for the second half of the year are ready for pick up in the parish lobby. Please stop and take your packet home. Thanks for helping us save postage.

-The newest Lay Eucharist Minister and Lector schedule was sent out this past week. If you have not as yet received it, please call the parish office at 847-3813-0596.
