Advent/Christmas  Happenings

  The Star: A Journey to Christmas

St Mark's invites you to journey with us through the season of Christmas, known as Advent.  This year we are exploring  the journey we take Christmas, much like the wise men followed a start to journey to Jesus.  Each week we highlight a Theme and a Key word and have a video clip too.  There will be coloring pages and additional items for our children and a two week countdown to Christmas too as we follow the light.

We invite you to slow down, enjoy the adventure and take it in.  Enjoy the sights, sounds and tastes too and give thanks to God for them all and the people around you.  

Join us for worship Christmas Eve  as we celebrate the birth of Jesus in sights, songs, and a message.   We gather at  4:30Pm  and will include a time of candlighting and a special gift for the children.

May You follow the star to Jesus as you journey this Advent and Christmas season.

Merry Christmas,

Pastor Jim Mericle
