For the summer months, the weekly class will take a break until September 3. You are encouraged to independently continue the One Year New Testament reading plan. The class will resume on the schedule when it reconvenes in September. Contact Jeff Whigham (912.602.2244) to get your Summer Bible if you have not gotten one.
The class will meet in the parish hall at 9:00am from June 1-August 31. Class format will follow a 15-minute devotional based on the lectionary reading for the day and focused on “What is My Calling?” That will be followed by discussion and prayer requests. The class is open to all men and women; drop-ins are welcome. For more information, call Jeff Whigham at 912-602-2244/jwhigham@saintmarksepiscopal.com
Several area churches are collaborating to provide 50 to-go meals for unhoused people on Saturday and Sunday evenings at 5:00pm. These can be as simple as a brown bag lunch. Deacon Rita wants to put together a team to pack brown bag meals one Sunday each month immediately following Mixon Hour and reconvene at 5:00pm to distribute the meals. If you are interested in being a part of this team, please call or text her at 912-270-2725.
Every Friday your St. Mark’s Church bulletin or email will get an additional 25% off the already great prices at Hello Goodbuy Lion Friday! Just show your bulletin to the cashier for 25% off your entire purchase. And don’t forget Senior Wednesdays when all clothes and shoes are half-price for those 55 or older. There are always great bargains at our resale store.
A Lion Pal is a little like a Secret Santa but with a twist. Our graduates often lose a connection with St. Mark’s as they move on to their next life segment. A Lion Pal anonymously prays for and sends encouragement to one of our graduates who is away and helps maintain a link and reminder that we’re here. If this sounds like something you want to do, text or email Sam at 229.291.0851 or
youth@saintmarksepiscopal.com.
Every Sunday following the 10:15 service, our hospitality teams serve coffee and light refreshments in our parish hall, Mixon Hall. All are invited. It is a great opportunity to visit or introduce newcomers. Volunteer host teams are invited to serve on a rotating schedule. The church supplies the menu to make it easy for all hosts. There is a sign-up sheet in the parish hall or contact Phyllis Fox at 912.242.6875.
