Wednesdays At St. Mark's

ADULT FORUM

The Adult Forum is conducting a study series on the Biblical Prophets.  This is an academic look at the books and their characters.  We will examine the historical and cultural influences on the books in the forms we now have them, and evaluate their historicity in light of current archaeological and non-biblical evidence.  Christians of all denominations and non-Christians should find this series interesting as well.

The Forum meets Wednesdays at 6:15 PM in the fellowship hall. The public is invited.

Lay Visitation Ministry

St. Mark's offers a Lay Visitation ministry for shut-ins.  Contact the church office for more information.

Bell Choir

St. Mark's Hand Bell Choir rehearses weekly.  If you are interested in ringing, please call the church office.

St. Mark’s Mission Statement

"United in Christ, sharing his Good News, we invite all people to grow in God’s love."

SUNDAY SCHOOL offers classes for youth of all ages, beginning at 8:45 AM.  Nursery care is provided.

SUNDAY WORSHIP is at 10 AM every week.

CELC ENROLLMENT

St. Mark's Christian Early Learning Center is now fully certified by the State of Maryland.   We are continuing to accept applications for the rest of the 2007-2008 academic year.   A typical day for the students consists of a morning prayer, the pledge of allegiance, learning the alphabet, numbers, shapes and colors, studying God’s word through both Old and New Testament Bible stories, singing Bible songs, and completing craft projects that relate to their lessons.

In addition to their routine studies, the children go on field trips and host various visitors. The children have also participated in many community-related service projects.

The Center is staffed by a certified teacher and  assistant. The hours of operation are between 8:15 AM and 5:15 PM Monday through Friday. There are still a few openings at the Center for children from three to five years old, and children of all faiths are welcome.  Because of increasing demand, priority is given to registering full-time (five day) students.  Partial scholarships are available for those who qualify.

MEN'S BREAKFAST

Men of all ages are invited to the monthly Men's Breakfast at St. Mark's.  The next breakfast will be on Saturday, April 5th at 8:00 AM in the church Fellowship Hall.   Men of all ages are invited. Please come! Bring a friend!

WOMEN'S LUNCHEON

The next  monthly Women's Luncheon will  be held Wednesday, April 9th at noon.  Women of all ages are invited to bring a dish and a friend.

ST. MARK'S CHOIR

Do you like to sing?  St. Mark's is known for its music ministries, especially its awesome adult choir.  Rehearsals are Thursday evenings at 7:30 PM.

The choir sings for every Sunday worship service from September through the middle of June, and for special services, especially during Advent and Lent.   If you are interested in joining the choir, call the church office at 301-334-2668. 

NAME-TAG SUNDAY COFFEE HOUR

The next Name Tag Sunday/Coffee Hour will be on Sunday, April 20th.   All who attend our worship service on that day are encouraged to wear name tags in order that regulars, visitors, new members and worship leaders can get better acquainted.  After the 10 AM worship service there will be a Coffee Hour downstairs in the Fellowship Hall. All are welcome to come and share in worship and fellowship.
