Thank you for wanting to get to know St. Mark’s Episcopal Church in Glen Ellyn. We at St. Mark’s are always here to extend a hand and lend an ear.
What do you need to know? A few answers to common questions:
We offer four services for Sunday worship:
Nursery – Available for infants during 9:15 a.m., 10:30 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. services as well as the 10:15 a.m. Sunday School and 12:00 p.m. Spanish Language Sunday School. It is staffed each week by Ms. Norma Cid, our nursery coordinator, who has been with us for over 17 years. We also have a group of parish volunteers who assist Ms. Norma each week. The nursery is found on the lower level of the education wing, room 112.
JAM (Jesus and Me) – Available for children ages 4-8 during the 9:15 a.m. worship service. JAM moves to 9:00 a.m. during summer. Stories from the Old and New Testaments are told using the Godly Play format. This age-appropriate worship experience is multi-sensory and provides children with an opportunity to sing, pray, listen and respond in their own way to God’s Word. 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. Classes are located on both levels of the Education Wing. Children whose parents worship at 10:30 a.m. will be escorted to the sanctuary at 11:15 a.m. to rejoin their parents.
We have an east parking lot off of Main Street/Phillips Avenue and a west parking lot off of Hillside Avenue. There is also street parking along Phillips Avenue.
