St. Mark's celebrates Rally Day 2023

Nearly 130 St. Mark's members and friends gathered on Sunday, August 20 for the 2023 Rally Day Celebration. The fun started early with Adult and Children's Formation, which now begins at 9:15 a.m. A festive Holy Eucharist followed at 10:30 with our Parish Choir. The liturgy included the annual Blessing of the Backpacks, with several dozen students, teachers, and educators participating. Check out our photo gallery below!

St. Mark's Rector, The Dr. James M. Pevehouse, noted the significance of the occasion. "Rally Day and a return to Fall programming is both a reminder of the ongoing life in our thriving parish of St. Mark's and a reminder that each new opportunity or situation is an invitation to continue learning. Keeping an open mind, by the grace of God, enables us to see that God always has the capacity to do something new!

A carnival-themed potluck lunch followed in the Gilbert Building. A hearty thanks to Lauren and Chris Johnsen for their extraordinary efforts making the day so special!

It's a perfect time to get plugged-in and join us!
