Living the Questions: This is a series featuring some great thinkers, and even a few who are controversial. We ask the hard questions. We get to discuss these things, but we're not being told what to believe. After watching a 20 minutes DVD the floor is open for discussion.

Time to Beautify the church grounds! Please come to St. Mark's on July 12 and 26th beginning at 9am to help clean-up and beautify the grounds around the church and rectory. Due to the continuous rains we have had this year, the weeds and bushes are enormous and taking over! If you can only participate for an hour on one day, we would still love your help. Please let the church office know if you are planning to stop by and work.
