Youth Sunday and Mother's Day

May 11, 2025

Youth Sunday is always a special day in the life of St. mark's because our Youth are more visible during the service as they serve in different areas.

The loose offering and any designated gifts will go to support our Youth Endowment Fund, which is used to award scholarships to college and trade school students.

This year Youth Sunday will be exta special because it is also Mother's Day!

We're gearing up for our Vacation Bible School, which is scheduled for July 14-17. The program, True North: Trusting Jesus in a Wild World, will take the children on an Alaskan adventure.

We need volunteers to help with decorating and setup beforehand as well as during the four days of the VBS program. We also need help with purchasing supplies. The first QR code below will take you to the website to register as a volunteer and to register children to attend. The one below it will take you to the website to view the Vacation Bible School Registry.

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.

Adult Bible Study of the Gospel of Mark

All are welcome to join the Bible study. Come to one week, or come to them all. The class meets in the fellowship hall at noon and ends around 1:00 p.m. Grab a cup of coffee and some snacks, then head over to the designated tables to sit down.
