True North Vacation Bible School

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. Click here for the website to register as a volunteer and to register children to attend.

An Episcopal Night at
Whataburger Field
Friday, 8/8, at 7:05 p.m.
Fr. John Blackburn is sponsoring an Episcopal Night at Whataburger Field again this year. The Corpus Christi Hooks will play the Tulsa Drillers Friday night, August 8th. The celebration of the 75th anniversary of Whataburger's founding is also scheduled for that night. There may be some extra giveaways available that evening to help celebrate, but those details are not available yet.
The tickets are free, but you must sign up to secure yours. You may do that by signing up on the back of the Connection Card found in your Sunday bulletin, emailing Judy at judy@stmarkscc.org, or calling her at the office at (361) 994-0285. The deadline for signing up for tickets is July 25th.

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.

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.
