Ministries of St. Mark's Lutheran Church

Caring Ministries:

The Caring Ministries keep the congregation informed about needs within and beyond our community, as well as what we can do to help satisfy those needs. Through this ministry members of the congregation work with local and extra-local organizations to help others in need through raising of funds, cooking and serving at the Andrews House Second Friday dinners, gathering and donating food to panteries as well as for seasonal occasions, to name a few activities.

House Ministries:

The House Ministries involve two very different aspects of congregational life: worship (Alter Guild) and service (Food).
The Alter Guild is the caretaker of the chancel area, which includes changing the paraments and linens according to the church season, arranging flowers on the altar, replacing candles, and preparing communion. The Food ministry involves preparing and serving food after funerals or for any other event, upon request.

Life Ministries:

Life Ministries include:

  • Events that are mainly for social purposes (such as Softball ).
  • Fellowship events that also build up each other spiritually (Mary Marth Guild).
  • Activities that focus on building the church in general (Greeters and the Outreach Ministry).

Each ministry enables fellow Christians to interact on a personal basis and encourages them to become a part of each others lives.

Worship Ministries:

Worship and music is an essential part of the Christian experience. The worship ministries at St. Mark's enable members of the congregation to plan, lead, and beautify our worship of God as well as actively participate in the worship.

Worship at St. Mark's include Sunday laturgical services, mid-week Advent and Lenten services, monthly gospel/old favorites music services in place of the laturgical service, and occasionally worship services with a special focus.

The Worship Ministries assist the pastor with planning and leading the services, and bring special praise to God through the vocal and handbell choirs..
