Community Lunch
Project Leader: Susan Brill, susanbrill5@gmail.com
On the last Wednesday of each month from 11 am to 1 pm, we host people from Chesterland and the surrounding communities for a FREE lunch in our spacious fellowship hall. We serve 75- 100 people and can use help preparing the food on-site (the day before and morning of) and bringing desserts from home.
Funeral Lunches
Project Leader: Susan Brill, susanbrill52@gmail.com
This ministry provides a meal for the family and friends of a St. Mark family member who has gone “home” to the Lord. We can use help cooking, serving, and cleaning up with short notice when the need arises.
This n’ That sale
Project Leaders: Brianna McCrudden, brialicia1589@yahoo.com
Each year in September we host a multi-day in-door rummage sale, which funds our annual grant program. We collect donations from our congregation and community (with the exception of clothes, electronics, and large furniture). We have weekly Thursday morning ”shed parties” (work sessions to sort and price items). We also need cashiers for the days of the sale.
Gift of the magi boutique
Project Leader: Brianna McCrudden, brialicia1589@yahoo.com
Each year in early November, we host a Christmas boutique which funds our annual grants and special church projects. It is a juried event with homemade items from approximately 30 vendors. We also have a “Christmas Room” in which we sell gently used Christmas ornaments and home décor. We also sell gently used Christmas/New Year “bling-type” jewelry. Volunteers are needed to craft, bake, prepare and sell lunch, and serve as cashier on the days of the sale.
