St. Mark’s Worship and Pastoral Care Committee

In June, St.Mark’s recognized the high school graduates who have been part of the congregation and wished them well as they left to further their education. The fortieth anniversary of St. Mark’s church was also celebrated with special events in June. We were pleased to welcome Linda Townsend as Guest speaker on Anniversary Sunday.

During the month of July St. Mark’s congregation worshiped on Sunday with the Congregation of St. David’s and during August while Rev. Pelly was on holidays we were pleased to have St. David’s congregation attend St. Mark’s. Those leading in worship in August were Jim St. Clair, Lorna MacRury, St. Mark’s choir, Rev. Donald MacDonald and Linda Scherzinger. In September it was back to planning for the fall seasons.

A Bible study planned by Rev.Pelly was cancelled due to low attendence. During World wide Communion on October 1st, sixty seven people received communion.

We express our appreciation to those who decorated the Church for Thanksgiving. Recognition of Rememberance Day was held on November 5th and was attended by members of the Royal Canadian Legion as well as Cadets.

The Committee is presently reviewing St. Mark’s membership roll as required.

Since last reporting several marriages were approved by the Committee in keeping with St.Mark’s policy on marriages. Two Baptisms also took place.

With other committees we are now in the process of preparing for the Advent Season and the celebration of the Birth of Christ.

Have a joyful Christmas.
