THANK YOU for "being church" with your generous donations of school supplies and money for students who are in need of a new pair of shoes to start the school year. Bless you for making a difference in the life of a child.
Thank you ...
to everyone for supporting the Rodeo Chicken dinner and wonderful fundraiser at St. Mark by either enjoying the meal, donating corn and cabbage, helping with food preparation, working in the kitchen and the dining area, cooking chicken, delivering meals... oh my, the list goes on and on! We appreciate you all! It takes a village, and you all certainly came together for this!
