The Feast of St. Mark
April 25, 2019

Dear St. Mark's Community,

We have some very good news to share with you regarding the Al Glover Family Outdoor Chapel and Learning Center. Our progress had been held up by a right-of-way overlay on the property where the Chapel and Classroom will be built. Last night, the Cocoa City Council voted to vacate the overlay, allowing us to move forward with our plans for construction. We are thrilled to report that the we have resumed work on the plan this morning and we are going full steam ahead! We still have quite a bit of work to do; however, we are optimistic that our long awaited project will be completed this fall.

We hope you are as excited about this news as we are. If you have any questions, please let me know.
