“It Was A Real Nice Clambake”

Fellowship at St. Mark is an important part of our Christian walk together. Sat. September 24 was the St. Mark annual clambake. Like the song, “It was a real nice clambake” from the musical Carousel, it was a real great time . For those that were not clam eaters, a chicken dinner was available.  Thanks to the Fellowship Committee for another fun event. Thanks to Kirk Jacobson for the pictures
