Update from the Lead Pastor

Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 


Upcoming Series

A new year often brings new opportunities to help friends and family members on a spiritual journey.  One of the best things you can do is invite them to attend a worship service with you.  The next sermon series is designed to help believers experience a different quality of life and help others find new life in Christ.   I’m challenging you to bring at least one friend to the following series:

Three Fingers Point Back series – March 9

"It's not my fault, my parents didn't have a lot of rules."  "I think it is a dumb law anyway."  "It’s not that bad, everyone does that!"  Personal responsibilities.  We all have them. But we don't to claim them. Let's remember when we point the finger of blame at someone else, three point back.  It's time to stop the excuse-making. 

Praise Report

One of the goals for the Grow & Go vision at St. Mark is that by June 2016 we would have had 50 different people on a mission trip.  We currently have 28 people signed up for our Buffalo, NY mission trip, 3 partners who are planning on going to Haiti and one who just returned from Africa.  That’s awesome!  Thank you for your prayers, support and involvement.

Another goal for Grow & Go vision was to have 500 people involved in community service in Jesus’ name.  As of January 2014, 286 people have been involved in community service.  Should have set higher goals!

See you this weekend as we continue ACTS: Be Part of the Movement series!
