Be Sure to Participate in Ministry Clarity Survey.:If you haven’t heard St. Mark has entered into a process with Lutheran Church Extension Fund called Ministry Clarity, which will help us think about our church ministries and the community around us. The first step in the process is participation in a congregation-wide survey. The survey is available for 2 more weeks. it can be completed online or on paper. Please take the time to participate, as every response will help us position our church for present and future ministry opportunities.
Copies of the survey are on the Welcome Table, the QR code printed here can be used to access it from your smartphone or tablet, or you can use this link on your computer https://survey.zohopublic.com/zs/c1fUX0 . With so many options we hope that everyone will participate. Paper Forms can be placed in the clear box on the Welcome Table.
Touchdown!: No matter who you rooted for in last Sunday’s game – the “SOUPER BOWL” held here last Sunday was a winner for Trinity Mission. A Donation of $813.05 will be sent to them to aid in their work in their neighborhood.
Donations:previously designated for the Debt Reduction can now be given to the Building/Property Improvement fund. You can continue to use the Pink envelopes if you were using them in the past.
St. Mark’s Book Club:March 12th’s book will be The Book Woman’s Daughter by Kim Michele Richardson. Join us as we discuss this powerful story of female resilience set in 1950’s Appalachia. We will be meeting at 1
p.m. in the small dining room off of St. Mark’s Fellowship Hall. Feel free to pack a lunch and join us after the midday, midweek Lenten Service at 12:30pm for extra fun. Please contact Sue Matzke for a copy of the book or with any questions. Bring a friend or two!
Help Needed:We are still looking for people who have large vehicles to transport books on March 9th from Gloria Dei in Hudson. Please sign up on the Bulletin Board if you are available.
Books, Blooms and Bake Sale Fundraiser will need dozens of volunteers on April 30th, beginning at 6pm to set up the sale. Books are heavy, so we especially need volunteers who can lift small and medium boxes and bring them from the shed to the Fellowship Hall in display-ready boxes. But there will also be merchandising tasks that do not involve lifting, so everyone is encouraged to volunteer. A light dinner will be served. If you can help, please sign up on the bulletin board in the church hallway.
