During worship on November 7th, we honored those members of our St. Mark’s family who have died since All Saints last year. In doing so, we demonstrated our belief that all the baptized are saints of God. We grieve for our beloved dead, knowing that God honors our tears.
May God Bless their memory: Norma and Eunice
Also on All Saints Sunday, we celebrated the gift of our baptismal relationship with God. The following have been baptized at St. Mark’s in the last year: Harper and Madilyn
