Welcome!
Our faith community is incredibly diverse in age, marital
status, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, geographic roots and
religious background. We bring this diversity - all that we are and
hope to become - to God's altar in this place.
We bring, too, our hopes and fears and doubts and wounds to Christ. We are believers
and skeptics at the same time. Here we seek to pray and encounter
the living God. Together we make up the Body of Christ, reaching
out in Christ's love and work.
We struggle with our faith, our world, and even each other. Most of all, we are ALIVE in Christ
here - not perfect, but definitely alive - and committed to our journey
together. You are welcome to be a part of this community.
To learn more about St. Mark's, explore this site,
contact us by email,
or - best of all - come visit.
We look forward to greeting you!

 Shrove Tuesday Thank You From J2A
On behalf of the J2A program, we would like to thank everyone who came out in the nasty weather on February 16 to support our Shrove Tuesday Pancake Mardi Gras. We are pleased to announce that - so far - $740 has been raised towards Episcopal Relief and Development's efforts to comfort the earthquake victims in Haiti. Special thanks to our cooks, who turned out a phenomenal spread with not only pancakes and sausage, but also gumbo, salmon cakes, chicken and rice, and homemade desserts. Contributions are still welcome - you can write a check (putting "Shrove Tuesday ERD" in the check memo field) or use the convenient Pay button below to make a contribution.
Thanks again, and hope to see you at next year's event!
