What do you need to know? A few answers to common questions:

We offer four services for Sunday worship:

• At 8:00 AM, the service is a Rite I Eucharist with music offered by a variety of instrumentalists and a closing hymn. This service is quiet and contemplative. Following this service is a brief coffee ‘moment’ in the narthex, and an adult education offering in Mahon Hall.
• The 9:15 AM service is temporarily paused until further notice. 
• At 10:30 AM, is a Rite II choral Eucharist, with traditional music throughout. Musical leadership comes from the Adult Choir and guest instrumentalists. A coffee hour in Mahon Hall follows the service, to offer a time of fellowship.
• The 1:00 PM service is a Rite II Eucharist in Spanish–“misa en Español” with music accompanied by piano and guitar. A bilingual Spanish/English bulletin enables both Spanish and English speakers to participate fully in worship. As with other worship services at St. Mark’s, the gathering is multi-generational and multi-cultural.
• Communion: At every service all are welcome to receive Holy Communion, including young children.

They are guided to the sanctuary to join their families for the Eucharist. Children’s Worship is located in the undercroft (downstairs from the sanctuary) in rooms 123 and 124.

10:15 a.m. Sunday School – Our children learn the stories of the Christian faith in an atmosphere of love and safety, utilizing the Episcopal Church’s Weaving God’s Promises curriculum. This is an online curriculum will various activities to meet different aged children. Classes meet from 10:15-11:15 a.m. every Sunday, beginning in early September and ending mid-May. Children are grouped according to their school grade level and are led by teams of dedicated teachers. Newcomers are welcome to join at any time.
