Children’s Ministry is delighted to introduce weekly bulletins, especially for kids! Each week, two versions of the Children’s Bulletin will be available as you enter worship – one is for pre-readers and one is for readers – along with pencils and crayons. The bulletin contains activities to help your kids connect to the week’s scripture lessons. As always, church bags containing additional coloring pages and a soft toy can be found hanging in the hallway. We hope you and your kids find the new bulletins helpful and fun as you worship together this summer! | St. Mark Prayer Chain
Would you like to be a part of the St. Mark prayer chain? Prayer requests come into the church office weekly. As we receive prayer requests we would send out an e-mail and ask that you pray daily for the persons mentioned in the requests. All requests are to remain confidential. Please e-mail melinda@stmarklc.com if you would like to participate in the prayer chain. “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.” Colossians 4:2. | Wednesday Morning Women's Bible Study

This fall we will begin our year with a study on Angels: Who They Are and How They Help! We will follow that with an overview of Mormonism- their history, practices, and beliefs. All are welcome to join us. Our Bible study is based on Scripture, discussion, and fellowship! If you have any questions please call Deb Iverson at 815-398-9812. | Theology Pub
