SPECIAL EVENTS

Please watch the "News & Events" section for special event announcements.

Christmas Pageant - Every year before Christmas, various parishioners of all ages participate in a Christmas Pageant.  Christmas Carols and photo opportunities are guaranteed!  This pageant will really get you in the Christmas spirit, as well as remind you what Christmas is all about!

Easter Egg Hunt - Every Easter, an Easter Egg hunt is held after the church service in the church yard.  Kids and kids at heart scout the grounds in search of Easter eggs left by our resident Easter Bunnies.  Certain eggs are marked as winning eggs.  Those who find these eggs win a small prize.

Halloween Party - While Halloween may not have originated as a Christian holiday, it is acknowledged by the church on the day before All Saints' Day . . . the day on which all Saints, known and unknown, are honored (The term "Hallow" was actually an old word for "Saint"!).  In joining with the fun of this holiday, a Halloween party is held every year at St. Mark's.  Costumes are encouraged, but not required.  Fun, food, and games are a sure hit for the whole family!

Shrove Tuesday Pancake Dinner - Every year on the day before the start of Lent, the cupboards are cleaned out and a pancake dinner is held at St. Mark's.  Better yet, the men of the church do the cooking!  Pancakes, sausage, and scrapple are the yearly staples at the meal.  This dinner is open to the community.

Special Days at the Labyrinth - Special events and walks are frequently planned at the Labyrinth and Gardens.  The Labyrinth was built for the community and at no time is this more evident than at these gatherings.  The Labyrinth and Gardens are a wonderful place for celebration, peacefulness, and/or prayer.  Events have been held in the past on various Holidays throughout the year.

Other Events - From time to time, we have other events which are planned as needed.  Covered-dish dinners are scheduled randomly throughout the year.  In the past, we have also had breakfasts, luncheons, teas, fashion shows, seasonal festivals, and many other events.  These events help draw our church community together.  They also enable us to share our gifts and talents with the community-at-large.
