Baptisms
Persons of any age, from infant to adult, may be baptized at St. Mark’s. Parents who wish to have their child baptized and adults who wish baptism for themselves are required to attend baptism counseling classes. Please call the parish office for more information.
Confirmation
Confirmation is the adult affirmation of our baptismal vows. Adults and youth from grade 7 and older may be confirmed. Youth are required to take the Confirmation Class offered by Evan Davis, our youth minister. Adults desiring confirmation are required to attend either the Alpha Course or the Inquirers Class. Please call the parish and speak to Fr. Mark or Pastor Claudia to determine which is right for you.
Weddings
Couples desiring to be married at St. Mark’s by our clergy are invited to attend worship to see if they would like to make this their church home. Marriage counseling is required. Please call the church for a wedding packet.
Couples from outside the parish desiring to use our building for their wedding should call the church to determine costs and requirements.
Prayer List
We would be privileged to add you or your loved one to our parish prayer list if you are in need of prayer. There is a Red Intercessory Prayer Book located in the narthex; please feel free to add your prayer request. Individuals in this book are prayed for during the services as well as during the week by prayer ministers.
Pastoral Counseling
If you are in need of pastoral counseling, please make an appointment with a clergy member. We also have a spiritual director on staff for long-term spiritual guidance.
Private Confession
Although there are no regularly scheduled times of private confession at St. Mark's, a special appointment can be made with a member of our clergy. Please speak with a clergy member or call the church office in order to schedule a private confession.
Hospital Visit/Ministration of the Sick
If you or a loved one is hospitalized or shut in and would like a visit from a member of our pastoral staff, please contact the parish office. New state guidelines no longer allow our clergy to access information at the hospital about current patients, so you will need to contact the parish office with all pertinent details. Our clergy and prayer ministers would be happy to visit you and pray with you while you are recuperating.
Lay Eucharistic Ministers are available to bring you Communion if you are a shut-in or are in the hospital. Please contact the parish office if you wish to receive Communion in your home or hospital room.
Funerals
Notify one of the clergy or phone the parish office to inform of a death in the family. Our parish clergy will meet with the family to arrange for a funeral and for bereavement counseling, and to provide information about our columbarium.
