Annual Parish Garage Sale

Please start cleaning out your closets, garages, cabinets… our St. Mark’s Garage Sale is coming up. Saturday, 9/22 we will host a church-wide garage sale in our northeast parking lot from 8 to 2pm. START BRINGING YOUR ITEMS FOR SALE TO THE CHURCH ON MONDAY, 9/17. Please do not bring items that are dirty, need repair, or are broken. If you have a price requirement, please state so on the item. All items not sold will be picked up by a charitable organization at 2pm on 9/22.

If you can help with sale tables, cooking hotdogs, setup and breakdown, please let me know by email or phone.

Thanks, Julie

Supporting Lee Britain Elementary Students

St. Mark’s will be collecting new underwear and socks for distribution at Lee Britain Elementary School, where our own Deb Swartz is better known as “Nurse Debbie.” All sizes are needed – from toddler up to adult, and all will be much appreciated. Lee Britain serves a large number of low income families, and these items are always in need. In addition to socks and underwear, school supplies would be appreciated as well. School begins on 8/27/2012, and we would like to get Debbie well-stocked for the new year! Please leave donations in the BodyBuilding bin from August 19 through Sunday, September 9th. If you have any questions, please contact Deb Swartz.

Half-Off in the Silver Lion Gift Shop!

Silver Lion Summer Sale – inventory reduction! All inventory (except Bibles and Prayer books) will be 50% off through the end of August! This includes all remaining James Avery, Christmas, Easter and other holiday items. All profits go to our outreach projects.

Adventure Team Outing, July 24

Tuesday, July 24th, The Adventure Team will depart the Parish Hall at 1045am for lunch at the Dallas Museum of Art’s Atrium Cafe followed by a visit to “Flower of the Prairie, George Groz in Dallas.” In 1952 the German Artist George Groz was invited to Dallas by Leon Harris, the young VP and President of A. Harris and Co. Department Store. Mr. Harris commissioned a series of Paintings and drawings illustrating Dallas in 1952 and the result is this exhibition. Please see www.dallasmuseumofart.org for ticket prices and further exhibition details. RSVP to Ed Morton is you plan to attend.
