So, you signed up to serve at Vacation Bible Camp and now you may be wondering, “What time do I have to be there each day and where do I go?” “What if one of my campers scrapes a knee?” “What do we do if it rains?” “Where do I find my supplies?” All these questions and more will be answered on Monday, July 1 at the VBS Leader Training Session.
VBS Directors and experienced leaders are excited to prepare all volunteers for an amazing week of camp! Training will cover the camp theme and mission, the daily schedule and routine, helpful tips on encouraging campers, Safe Church Training and emergency protocol questions, a break-out session for crew leaders and station leaders, and an optional tour of the church building.
If you are registered to volunteer at camp, please plan to attend this very important and exciting night of VBS Leader Training. Whether you are a rookie leader or a seasoned VBS volunteer, your attendance and input helps to make the training a success for everyone. Questions? Reach out to Jackie Rowell and Jen Cawthorne at kidzchurch@stmarkscarmel.org. We look forward to seeing you there!

Event Details
What if you could support students in need just by eating your lunch or dinner? Better yet, what if you didn’t even have to cook to make this happen? Red Robin in Clay Terrace is giving you this chance on Thursday, July 11! Dine out there any time that day and your dinner becomes a donation! For this one day only, present a flyer or simply mention this fundraiser when you order and 20% of all food sales will come back to St. Mark’s. The church will then use the money raised to support the VBS weekly mission: Southport Middle School in Perry Township. Southport has a growing community of refugees and other students in need. Dining at Red Robin on this special day will provide students with school uniforms, personal hygiene items, and much needed school supplies for the coming year. Thank you!

Event Details
a churchwide conversation with guided brainstorming sessions
Come share your dreams for St. Mark’s! Reserve your spot today for this churchwide conversation with guided brainstorming sessions. We will break into small groups for a Spirit-led dialogue, gathering ideas about how we welcome, grow, and serve at St. Mark’s. It will be a time of openness to God’s promptings, rather than a time for strategic planning or evaluation of the ideas.
For the last year we have been united in prayer with our breakthrough prayer initiative, asking God to reveal hopes and dreams for our church and our own lives. What are the new hopes and dreams God is revealing for our church’s future? Let’s gather our whole family and bring ideas together.
