Our DOK Chapter/ Angel Tree Donations – A Great Success!
Your beautifully wrapped presents for the children who benefit from the services at the Children's Diagnostic and Treatment Center (CDTC) looked so joyful on the altar on Sunday, December 12th! For many of the children, it is the only Christmas gift they will receive. Thank you for your generous support!

Rector Search Committee Update
The Saint Mark's Search Committee is hard at work in its search for a new rector. We received a set of applications in November and have conducted first-round Zoom interviews with several candidates in the last few weeks. We are continuing to advertise the position to increase our list of candidates. While rector search is a slow and intensive process, your committee is fully committed to finding an appropriate match for the work and worship of Saint Mark's. We appreciate your ongoing prayers and support during this time of discernment.
Altar Flowers
Following a COVID Hiatus, Saint Mark's is resuming the tradition of donation for the altar flowers. All donations will be in the honor or memory of a loved one's memory for a birthday, anniversary, or other joy. There will be a sign-up sheet at the back of the nave for parishioners who want to participate.Look for additional information in our service bulletin. Also, note that you can specify ‘flowers’ when donating to our parish online at https://onrealm.org/StMarksEpiscopa19951/give/now.
