The new book for the upcoming Adult Education Class at St Mark’s will be an exciting and refreshing way to develop a new comfort level in how to explain one’s faith to others. Timothy Keller has done a masterful job with his book The Reason for God – Belief in the Age of Skepticism. It is available for a reasonable amount in paperback, at Barnes and Noble, and Amazon, christianbooks.com.

It made the New York Times’ Best Seller List a few years ago, and promises to be a more enjoyable, and clearly less unsettling read than our last book which may have stirred some, but definitely got us thinking about the roots of our faith. Hopefully we can increase the size of our 8:30 Adult Ed Class and have some engaging and productive discussion, as we continue to grow in our St Mark’s family.

Parishioners and other friends of the St. Mark’s parish family are welcome to join us after the 9:30AM worship service on Sunday, October 23, for an ice cream social to extend our best wishes to the Pickens family as they prepare for a new phase in their Christian journey.

There will be a basket on hand for well wishers to deposit cards and other blessings as we usher out the summer months with an ice-cream social. All are welcome.
