Breakfast With Santa
Join us on December 14th to enjoy some wonderful fellowship, amazing breakfast foods, and even get a special meet n' greet with Santa Clause himself while the elves are hard at work preparing for Christmas. Santa will only have a short window from 9am-11am to visit with children and families before he has to get back to the North Pole and finish preparing for his Christmas Eve journey. As you know, it takes a lot of work delivering toys for all the little boys and girls around the world! We hope you are as excited as we are to share in this time together. St. Mark UMC can't wait to see you and your family there!
Christmas Neighborhood Carriage Ride
St. Mark UMC is going to be supporting the annual Neighborhood Christmas Carriage Ride thanks to the wonderful partnership with Dupont Station Neighborhood Coalition. The carriage ride's starting point will be the parking lot of St. Mark. This is a perfect event for children, and we welcome friends and families from the neighborhood and surroundings areas to join us on the second Monday of December, the 9th. We are grateful to all who volunteer to make these events fun for all of our families.
Supplies for Hurricane Helene Victims
St. Mark is sending supplies to North Carolina to help support the victims of Hurricane Helene. This is a devastating tragedy for residents who live in one of the many areas that were destroyed during this natural disaster. As a congregation, we have come together, and we would like to continue sending some much-needed supplies to help support these victims and their families.
St. Mark UMC Trunk or Treat
St. Mark is having some scary fun this fall season.
