Guilds

I have seen you in the sanctuary and beheld your power and your glory....I will praise you as long as I live, and in your name I will lift up my hands.
                                --Psalm 63:2-4

St. Mark's Choir is looking for a few willing singers.  No auditions are required...just show up on Wednesday night  in the choir room to claim your robe, music folder, hymnal, and a part in this enjoyable ministry.

                   St. Martha's Altar Guild

The Altar Guild is entrusted with the responsibility of assisting the clergy in caring for the altar and all items that are used during our
worship. Altar guild work is a labor of love offered to God, not just a chore that must be done. If you like to polish, clean, put things in order, pay attention to details and stay in the background, the Altar Guild is an excellent ministry for you. The Altar Guild also prepares the flowers and greens for the decoration of the altar. Special service is required during the
festival seasons such as the "greening" of the Church during Christmas and the arrangement of the Altar of Repose, where the Reserved Sacrament is kept between Maundy Thursday liturgy and the Good Friday liturgy.

Morning Prayer Ministry
 

The Morning Prayer Guild supports the clergy in assuring that the Daily Office is said each day at St. Mark's. Members of this Guild are especially helpful to the Parish in reading Morning Prayer at 7:30 each morning and offering intercessions, assuring that the people of St. Mark's are remembered before the
Lord every day. Those who wish to pray the Daily Office as a part of their Rule of Life are encouraged to join and assist in providing this service to our parish family.

Members must be regular in attendance and reliable in service. Persons interested in participation in these ministries may call the parish office.

                       Visitation Ministry

The Guild of the Visitation is a new guild that exists to make regular visits to our homebound members, remembering them in our fellowship. Extensive training is a necessary component to participation in this ministry.

                        Parish Choir

The Parish Choir consists of individuals who love to lift their voices up to the Lord. If you can carry a tune, you should consider becoming a part of this ministry. From September through May, the Choir rehearses each Wednesday evening from 7:00 - 8:00 p.m. and gathers each Sunday at 9:15 for a short rehearsal prior to the 9:30 service. The choir does not rehearse during the summer vacation months but may don choir robes and lead the congregational singing.

For more information, contact Frank Christman.
