Mission In Action Day

Potato Drop: Saturday, September 19
MIA Day: Sunday, September 20

Celebrating 47 Years of Missions

Mark your calendar and join us for our annual churchwide event, Mission In Action! Members of St. Mark’s will mobilize the message of Christ’s love, living out our motto, “where mission is a way of life”. Saturday fills our parking lot with a “Potato Drop”, giving out 40,000 lbs. of potatoes. Sunday begins with a fellowship gathering in Wesley Hall. Then we will “worship in action”, serving as the hands and feet of Jesus. A variety of mission projects will be available both offsite in our community and here at St. Mark’s.
