"Teachers and Learners" Bible Study meets Tuesday evenings at 7:00 p.m. Throughout Lent, we will study the Gospel of John, Chapters 12-19, covering the last week of Jesus' life leading up to the cross. In the weeks of Easter 1 and 2, we will read of the Resurrection in Chapter 20 and the appearances to the Disciples in Chapter 21. All are welcome to join us and make this study a part of your Lenten Discipline.

On-Going Service Opportunities

The Altar Guild is looking for men and women to serve as sacristans. This involves caring for and setting out those items required by the priest to celebrate the Holy Eucharist.         

See Sally Austin, directress, for qualification requirements.

The Silver Lion Gift Shop could use more volunteers to serve as clerks. Principally, this would involve opening the shop after Sunday service and keeping it open until the last shopper leaves. Sunday mornings.

See Kathryn Nelson, manager, for more information.
 

IN-Reach is an area that needs development. Folks are needed to simply visit those who are shut-in or hospitalized. The step beyond this might be the establishment of a team of Lay Eucharist Visitors. Talk to Fr. Greg if you would like to explore this ministry.
 

Outreach volunteers are needed in several areas that have long been a part of St. Mark's community involvement.

Irving Cares needs food and folks to help stock the shelves as food comes in.

The Interfaith Clinic needs help in general.

Austin Street Shelter Breakfast team could use some assistance on the last Saturday morning of each month.

Several projects designed to aid students at Lee Britain School occur throughout the school year.

Our outreach at John Haley Elementary School continues through this school year.

Talk to Bettye Brown if you can volunteer even a little of your time to any of these ministries.
