ST. MARK’S KID DAY CELEBRATION On July 20th during the Kid Day celebration, come to St. Mark's (where it's nice and cool) and have lunch. Serving: BBQ Bun, Baked Beans, Pickles, Potato Chips, Ice Cream and Lemonade from 11am to 1pm OR visit our food booth at Roosevelt Park from 11am to 3pm. Proceeds go to St. Mark's Sunday School.
The LWML meets on the third Tuesday of the month at 7pm.
There is a sign-up sheet for anyone who's interested in going to the Ark Encounter / Creation Museum Dec. 21-Jan. 2. We don't know the cost yet; but if it's anything like last year, the cost should be around $800 per person (less if families travel together... or if anyone wants to share a hotel room with someone else). If you have any questions, ask Pastor Wolter.
VBS needs you help! If you have any mouthwash bottles (and their caps), please bring them to church! Also, if you have any plastic jars (and their lids) the VBS program could use those, too. There's a donation box in the narthex.
If anyone wants to know more about Lutheran Emergency Response Teams (L.E.R.T.), talk with Pastor Wolter about how to get more information or training. The LERT teams are those who arrive a short time after some kind of disaster has hit an area. For our "local" LERT teams, we would respond to emergencies in our area.
The LWML collects Mites on the first Sunday of every month.
Quilters meet every Tuesday at 1pm (Sept. - May).
Memorial Ideas? If you have any ideas as to how families can use their memorial money to help the church, please contact Robin and let her know. We've had people ask after almost every funeral; and we always have to tell them that we don't have a list. Hopefully that will change!
New Prayer Policy: If you have a loved one (or yourself) on the prayer list, we will be contacting you every month (or so) to see if you want them (yourself) to remain on the list. Hopefully God will have brought about some healing for you / your loved one.

2024 ENVELOPES are in your mailboxes. If you did not receive a box of envelopes and would like one, please contact Robin in the church office.
Due to a decision by the MN legislature, the Options for Women clinic in Morris no longer has access to state funding. They are in desperate need of help. Please consider donating to their organization. You can give a special donation to St. Mark’s and it will get sent there.
We have meetings of our church leaders every 2nd Monday of the month. The Board of Elders meet at 6pm; the full church council meets at 7pm.
RADIO BROADCAST If you want to sponsor the broadcast of our worship services, the cost is $35. There’s a sign-up sheet by the office.
PORTALS OF PRAYER are available on the back table. There are large print portals available, too. If you'd like one, contact Robin in the church office.
