The Lutheran Church of Saint Mark

Dear Friend,

On behalf of the people of St. Mark I offer you a heartfelt welcome. We are always happy to have you join us in worship; and if you have no church home, we hope you will consider becoming a part of the community of faith at St. Mark.

The Lutheran Church of St. Mark is an active and growing congregation in a pleasant, growing town. We hope you find this a friendly, welcoming place, as we strive also to provide opportunities for worship and Christian faith development, mutual fellowship and support, and service to God and humankind. In doing so we may expect to grow in our trust in Jesus Christ as both Lord and Savior.

Please let me know if there is a way the church or I might be helpful to you with a personal or spiritual need.

Peace,

Pastor Joseph B. Ekeberg

What is Fellowship? by Lee H., Fellowship Chairperson

Fellowship - (from my computer’s dictionary)

1. A sharing of common interests,goals, experiences, or views

2. A group of people who share common interests, goals, experiences, or views

3. companionship or friendly association.

Synonyms: companionship, camaraderie, friendship, friendliness, partnership.

At St. Mark, fellowship also means coffee hours, pot-luck dinners, contra dances, picnics, lock-ins, progressive dinners and just about anytime two or more are gathered. A chance to chat, share stories, give, or receive, a pat on the back or a sympathetic ear. It’s a part of our community at St. Mark and a great way to help turn an acquaintance into a friend. Thanks for the coffee, the brownie, the chat. Thanks for asking, for telling, for friendship.
