“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

Young and old got together to man the power washers and brushes and rags ( Gayle Fecsik’s dog also participated). It is fun when brothers and sisters in Christ get together and do a project…
