MyTimeTithe App
to Track Volunteer Hours
The time we serve in ministry at St. Mark's, or in the community, or in any other capacity, matters and has economic value. Wouldn't it be interesting to know how much time we serve? Jeremy Wilkey developed an app for us to use to log those hours. You can click on this link or scan the QR code to get started.
Enter your name in the space provided. If it's your first time, click "Don't see your name? Add yourself" to enter your name. Then fill in the page that opens up. You will select the date, the number of hours you served, which ministry the hours were for, and you may add a note about your service if you'd like.
2026 Flower Chart
Available in the Entryway
Please sign up on the flower chart to sponsor the flowers on a Sunday in 2026. The flowers cost $55. You will receive an email reminder and request for your dedication around the first of the month that you signed up for.
Books Available
Our library is receiving a much-needed cleanup and clean-out. Teresa Bacon and Marlyce Rysavy have been working on it for over a month now. There were lots of books in the library that are no longer needed but are still great to share. So, they are available in the fellowship hall and are free to take. Go over after the service on Sunday to see if any of the titles are of interest to you. Happy reading!
Seek Group
All students in sixth through twelfth grade are welcome to join.
Ministry in Partnership
with Timon's Ministry
Over the course of many years, St. Mark's has partnered with Timon's Ministry in various ways. Timon's goal "is to provide a hand up, empowering individuals to regain their strength, dignity, and ultimately, their place in the workforce." Our women's reunion group has discovered several ways to serve this community.
Members of the group have been volunteering their time at Timon's Ministry working in the Clothing Closet organizing items and visiting with people. The group has asked for help with their efforts through any of the following ways:
-
Donating band aids, bandages, and gauze
-
Donating clothing, especially men's shirts, jeans, or athletic shoes
-
Donating travel size deodorant, toothpaste, shampoo, conditioner, bars of bath soap, body wash
-
Donating toothbrushes
-
Donating items for to-go food bags: tuna and cracker packs, granola bars, chips, bottled water, etc.
-
Sorting clothing on Mondays from 8:45 - noon.
You may leave your donations in designated boxes located in the entryway to the sanctuary and in the fellowship hall. Contact Pam Cater at (361) 446-4498 for more information.
