St. Mark's Episcopal Church

We take seriously our call to "go in peace to love and serve the Lord"

Mission work at St. Mark's has taken many forms.  We have been faithful to the many needs of our friends in New Orleans and along the Gulf Coast, going repeatedly since Katrina to work alongside those struggling to rebuild lives.  Buck raised money for trucks and supplies for New Orleans, and when trucks were needed for Haiti - Buck once again responded to the Bishop's call and even though in his own words, "you can't drive to Haiti." we knew we couldn't go there with them, so we put them on the boat to help with the recovery of the Haitian people. 

And more recently the youth participated in a week of service in Appalachia.  We stayed at Grace House in St. Paul, Virginia and did light construction and painting for a family living in the area.  We had such a good experience we are going back in 2012.  Our partner in this mission ministry is Trinity, Fredericksburg.

 In 2011 we will once again go to serve on the Gulf as we have done in partnership with St. Stephen's and other parishes since 2005, and we have the hope of going to serve the people of Guatemala.  

The Gulf Mission is October 30 - November 5.  The Youth and Young Adult Appalachian Mission is July 15-21.  Call the church for more information, 358-4771
