NEWS AND EVENTS

SAINT MARK'S LUTHERAN CHURCH WELCOMES YOU!
We welcome you if you are single, married, divorced, gay, wealthy, poor, black, brown, yellow or white. We welcome crying newborns, squirming children and frazzled moms and dads. You are welcome if you sing like an opera star or can’t carry a tune in a bucket, like some of us. We don’t care if you’re more Lutheran than Martin Luther, haven’t been in church since little Joey’s baptism, or if you’re “just browsing.” We welcome you if you are over 60, even if you haven’t grown up yet, or if you are a teenager and growing up too fast. We welcome starving artists, latte-sippers, vegetarians and junk food junkies. You are welcome if you are in recovery or still struggling with your addiction. We welcome you if you have been having problems or you’re down in the dumps or if you don’t like “organized religion.” We’ve been there too. If you are left-wing, right-wing or no wing at all, you are welcome here. If you are visiting Grandma and Grandpa and they made you come to church, welcome! Likewise, if you are in town to visit a child, grandchild or friend, you are welcome here. We offer a special welcome to those who could use a prayer right now. We welcome you to Saint Mark's Lutheran Church because we are a place of saints and sinners of all kinds who are here by the grace of God.

Lutheran Men in Mission Breakfast, January 5, 2020, 7:30 AM, FLC, Hope to see you there!

ADVENT FELLOWSHIP DINNER
We enjoyed a special time of fellowship and food Sunday evening. The young ones provided a memorable performance!

YAAYK!
Young Adults, Adults with Young Kids is a new ministry start for families of young adults and adults with young children. It begins in January during Sunday school. Meet in St. Mark's Family Life Center (FLC) for coffee and conversation on the first two Sundays of January (the 5th and the 12th) to mingle, plan and pray. The goal is to start a new group for this age of parents, to meet during Sunday school, and to do other faith, fellowship and family activities each month (i.e. bowling, camping). During Sunday school the "kids" would go to their own age-connected classes. For more information contact Jennifer Lidstrom and Bennie Stevens at jenbenstevens@gmail.com or Pastor Dave. Also, check out the new Facebook page "Lutheran Families: Mooresville, NC".

KNIT HATS & GLOVES FOR FOOD FOR DAYS CHILDREN
This Christmas each of our in need children at Park View Elementary will again receive a gift bag containing a knit hat or toboggan, gloves and a scarf in December. If you would like to donate a set of hat/gloves please place them in the marked box in the Narthex by December 9th. The scarves have been completed by HANDS ON and monogramed by Patty Schmid. Thank you so much for your love and support of these special children.

FOOD FOR DAYS
We still have children in our school system that don’t have food for the weekend. This problem is not going away. The Iredell School system and Mooresville Graded School District have at least 400 children who are considered homeless. (That means no permanent address). We have one school with over 30 students on a waiting list due to no sponsor.
St. Mark’s has generously supported 67 children out of 75 – 100 that attend Park View Elementary School. Social Ministry depends on the caring hearts of our congregation to support Food for Days, Backpack Ministry.
Cost for one child for the school year is $250.00 or any amount your heart dictates. Please indicate Food for Days on your check and envelope.

More News & Events

ASSISTIVE LISTENING DEVICES are available in the Narthex. If you're having trouble hearing the sermon or the music during worship each week please ask one of the ushers for an Assistive Listening Device. They will be able to answer questions and ensure you're comfortable using the device. Worship and Music Committee strives to ensure that everyone has a positive worship experience each week, and one of the ways we can help is by providing Assistive Listening Devices for those who need it. Look for signs in the Narthex.
