It’s the most wonderful times of the year!  All is merry and bright!  

We wish you a merry Christmas!  

For many, the holiday season is not as cheerful as our culture depicts it. It may  be especially difficult to endure Christmas without loved ones we have lost, or celebrate the start of another lonely year.  For these and many other reasons, St. Mark’s Episcopal Church is offering a Blue Christmas service.

Annual Children’s Christmas Pageant - Tue December 24 This year, our        annual Children’s Christmas pageant will be preformed during the 5:00pm   Christmas Eve Service. There are two scheduled rehearsals for the pageant. 1st rehearsal is Sunday, December 15 at 2pm- We will have pizza afterwards. 2nd rehearsal is Sunday, December 22 at 4:00pm. Both rehearsals are in the nave.  Only main characters will need to attend practices. Preschool age children who play little angels or little shepherds do not attend practices. I would like to encourage all school aged children to take part in this  wonderful  enactment of the birth of Christ.  We will also need  volunteers to help during  rehearsals and the day of the pageant.    Registration forms for the Christmas Pageant will be placed in the in the Narthex
