MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS MONTH
To live out our mission of bolding sharing God’s love and grace, St. Mark will join with our siblings in Christ across the country in commemorating this month. Watch for weekly educational blurbs in the take home news, and consider joining us for a Bible study that will explore how the Bible has shaped our views of mental illness and suicide. We will also discuss actionable steps to ensure that the church is a place of welcome for those who seek relief from all levels of mental distress.
For more detailed information about the content or format of the Bible study, contact Mary VanHaute at mvhii@borderlandnet.net.
Welcome.
Sometimes visiting a new church can be a little intimidating. We want to change that. We invite and welcome all people to be a part of the St. Mark Community. Come and visit our community that is committed to worshipping, growing and serving together as followers of Jesus.
