FAITH FORMATION
Sundays at 9 a.m.
“Table Talk” or
Hebrews study
Maybe you’ve heard about the new offering at
St. Mark’s on Sunday mornings: Adult Faith Formation.
But what is Adult Faith Formation? And what might it
look like at St. Mark’s?
Faith Formation is a life-long process of exploring,
experiencing, and learning. We’ve started our Faith
Formation program with a Bible study, but what’s
next? That’s where you come in! There are many
possibilities for our time together on Sunday mornings:
guest speakers, book studies, spiritual practices,
workshops, films, and more.
Do you have some ideas? You can help shape this
program. We’re looking for innovative suggestions
that will help us strengthen our faith and our
relationships with each other.
Or maybe you would enjoy facilitating or teaching?
You could teach a short course, facilitate with guest
speakers, facilitate a workshop.
Please contact Pr. Charisse or Lynnette Brent. They’d
love to hear your ideas and are looking forward to
building a strong Adult Faith Formation program
together!
What can you offer?
Join the Care Team?
Help with Saturday night worship?
Did you know that our Care
Team provides treat bags/
baskets for shut-ins during the
year, especially on holidays?
They also send cards to shut-ins twice a month and
provide recognition for Pastor Appreciation Month in
October. The team would love to add more people to
this very worthwhile ministry. Contact Pat Jones.
Now that Saturday night
worship is back, we are actively
seeking volunteers to help make
this 5 p.m. service happen. Our
Hospitality/Worship Team is looking for ushers and
greeters, and our AV Team needs people to help out
at the sound desk. If you are interested, we would be
happy to train you. Contact Rob Creaney.
