Fellowship at Danny Boys
On February 18, 2017 the fellowship committee at St. Mark sponsored a dinner at Danny Boys restaurant in Chesterland OH. Fellowship is an important part of the St. Mark ministry. With three services on a Sunday, it’s hard to get to meet everyone. Having fellowship events both at church and at different venues promotes friendship and lots of fun. Special thanks to Donna Robinson for the great pictures
