Worship and Prayer

                                 Followed by Quiet Meditation 
                                 Eucharist 5:30 p.m.

In our ministry of hospitality at St. Mark’s:

• We began by creating the Soft Spot in our worship space as a place where our children are welcomed and given their place in our liturgy. 
• We continue by moving the time of the Eucharist from 9:00 to 10:00 on Sundays to be more welcoming to families.  

• Our Sunday morning program for children, Godly Play, meets twice a month from 9:45 – 10:30.  The children will join the adults in the church for Holy Communion.
