Let’s Tailgate with the homeless on July 19, at Trinity Lutheran in Ohio City. Meet at St. Mark at 10 am , leave for Trinity 10:30 am, back middle afternoon. We will provide a meal, take food to the food pantry and clothing to the clothing ministry. Call Mark Rychel
Do you attend the 10:15 service? Please consider serving as an usher (see Tom Holt), or in the tech booth (see Laurie Deau). Call or email the church office with questions or to volunteer.
Registration Lead Needed for VBS: We can always use more help with Vacation Bible School, but our biggest need is someone to lead the registration process. This person would need to be at VBS each day from July 21-25 for the entire session from 9am-11:30 to check children in and out. This is a simple, but important volunteer role as it ensures the safety of the children who are attending. It is also a job that can be performed while seated. If you are interested, please contact Pastor Chris.
It’s a great time to declutter your home: We will be accepting gently used household items, tools, toys, and more for our September “This & That” Sale. Sorry no clothes, DVDs/VHS/CDs or large furniture, please. If you would like to donate jewelry or jewelry boxes, please put them in the small dining room off the Fellowship Hall in the box labelled “Ellen”. Please see/call Briana McCrudden or Lori Cudnik with any questions.
St. Mark’s Book Club: Our next book will be Jim Defede’s The Day the World Came to Town. Please consider joining us to discuss this true tale of a Newfoundland town that banded together to host passengers from dozens of diverted planes on 9/11. We will be meeting on August 13th at 1 p.m. in St. Mark’s Small Dining Room. Feel free to pack a lunch and join us at noon for extra fun. Please contact Sue Matzke for a book or with any questions. Bring a friend or two!
Kid’s activity bags have been put together to help you encourage your little ones to sit through the service. The bulletins are theirs to color and take home, but please return the bags after the service to be used again. Bags are located at both sanctuary entrances.
