If you know you are away for some of the summer, you can either leave pre-dated checks with the office (we will make sure that the dates on your checks will be honored), set up an automatic payment from your bank account, or participate in the 'Simply Giving' program, which automatically deducts a set weekly or monthly amount from your bank account. For more information, please contact David Englund or the office. St. Mark's also needs your active participation! Its ministry depends on you an your gifts. If you would like to volunteer in any fashion (one time project or in the longer run), please let me know. Have a blessed week! May the joy of Easter fill your hearts! Pastor Kerstin
