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!

United Thank Offering Spring Ingathering is May 20
Sunday, May 20, 10:00 am
 The annual Spring United Thank Offering (UTO) Ingathering will take place on Sunday, May 20 during the 10:00 am service. Once again we have an opportunity to share our blessings with others who need the opportunity to receive blessings. Give these people the chance to receive these blessings through our UTO offerings. This is done through grants for programs to educate, feed the homeless, teach for jobs, etc. These offerings are gathered through each Diocese across the nation and the grants are given to the projects or programs to fulfill the goals to reach out to those in need: care, feed, and love. Envelopes will be in the pews for your use. Please make checks payable to St. Mark's, marking the memo UTO. If you have any questions, please contact Doris Mardirosian..
