Sunday School Kid's Church Mission Possible Kids

Tweeners in Transition = TnT The Parent Link Summer Camps

St. Mark's School Site Plan Overview

Sunday, June 3, is Promotion Sunday!

All children and youth will move up to their NEW GRADE LEVEL on June 3! For the preschoolers, it is based on the child's age by September 1, 2012. This is a day of celebration to welcome and support a new transition and milestone. Summer transitions make it easier on the children so the Fall can be focused on school changes!

For Kid's Church (1st - 6th Graders), we will have Pazos Entertainment set-up in the gym with exciting activities such as the jumper-slide and wax hands, yummy snacks, with a biblical emphasis. Look for a fun outing for the youth groups too!

Much of what we do at St. Mark’s, we do with and for children. It is our goal for children to know church as a place where they are safe and cared for; where they are taught; and where they see and hear Christian lives being lived out around them.

St. Mark's is a great place for children -- for families! Choose to bring your children to worship with you, or come to worship while your children are doing Sunday morning activities that were designed for them. Let one of our greeters help you find the right place for everyone.

Baby and toddler nurseries

Our nurseries are inviting and carefully supervised. Because we want young families to fully participate in the life of the church, the nurseries are available for our many church activities.

Sunday School

We have classes available during the 9am, 10am and 11am church services for folks of all ages. Click here for a schedule and map for our Sunday School Classes. All Kids in grades 1-6 meet in Springstead Gym for Kid's Church. 5th & 6th graders break out to go to their own class in Zumwalt Hall and return to Springstead Gym to be picked up by their parents.

S. S. S. - Seeking Servants for Sundays

Mission ministry (outreach) is important to St. Mark's.

It starts with our children!

NOW is the time to reach the next generation.

Children readily accept the message of Jesus Christ

But caring adults are the key to getting that message to them!

Please pray and consider serving at least one Sunday a month to make a difference for eternity.

Give back to God the gift you have --JESUS
