What to Expect

What are services like?
Upon entering the church, a sense of quiet allows the worshippers to prepare themselves in prayer. Ushers show visitors to the pews and make sure they have a bulletin. St. Mark’s bulletins contain the complete service, including hymns, but if you have difficulty following the service, ask the person next to you or simply listen as the service progresses.

What is the community like?
St. Mark's strives to be a place where everyone is welcome. It is easy to get involved in the life of the church if you want to . . . and it is perfectly acceptable to be a "wall flower" if that is your comfort level. We are not pushy but we will probably greet you and welcome you enthusiastically (though not during the service - no one will ask you to stand up and introduce yourself!)

What if I'm not a Christian?
Christians, Seekers, Doubters, Agnostics --- even Muslims and Jews --- worship at St. Mark's. You may hear things in worship that stretch you, perhaps even that make you struggle, but, whatever your views, you will be respected and welcomed.

    Connections and Interfaith take care, house men who are bisexual or gay allowing them to pan handle to support substance abuse addictions. Why isn't there any substance abuse interception, clinics, jobs nor apprentice internship to support self sufficiency ? What's to keep individuals from becoming homeless again? How many have lost their places only to be given new ones while those without homes remain homeless? Records and research can prove that Connections and Interfaith are enabling, supporting and taking care of men who are substance abuser's, gay or pedophiles which isn't helping those whose really seeking help in getting their lives back on track. Able body men and women should be working or in class for a skill but why would they if Connections and Interfaith is paying their bills, rent supplying every need? You give them bus passes, Aldi /Target Gift Cards which they sell, free food, clothing, furniture, and get them general assistance. Why should or would they work when all they have to do is live a gay life without any accountability?
