Burn the Mortgage
All parishioners and Friends of St Mark, we need your help! We can burn our mortgage and chart a debt free future but we can't do it without you. Sylvia Cardone remembered us with a gift that brings us close to our goal. We are still short of what we need. God will provide, and with your help we will reach our goal and Burn the Mortgage!

Wednesday Evening Bible Study

A Word on Stewardship
We are excited to announce the start of our parish-wide Stewardship Drive! God is doing great things in our community, and each of us is called to take part in His work. Stewardship sign-ups will be available near the entrance by the candles, and on October 17th, a basket will be placed in front of the icon of The Theotokos. Join us in offering back to God a portion of the blessings He has given us, as we grow together in faith and service.
