Father Tom Gibson Update/Offering

Dear Friends,

In order to help Father Tom Gibson, St. Mark's Episcopal Community will be taking up a special offering for his physical needs. After all the money has been collected, I will purchase a Visa gift card and deliver it to Cecilia, his daughter.

You may write on your check or memo: "Father Tom", and we will credit the amount towards this designated gift. You may also give via Realm: https://onrealm.org/StMarksCocoa/Give
or TEXT TO GIVE: text lions to 73256, followed by the gift amount to give online via text.

He is now at home with Cecilia.

The best way to help Fr. Tom and his family during this time is to pray, and donate to help him recover financially.

You may also send cards, etc. to:
Fr. Tom Gibson, c/o The Rev. George Wilcox
1431 Victoria Blvd
Rockledge, FL 32955

George is in contact with Fr. Tom and Cecilia daily. I will send further updates as I learn more.

Thank you and blessings to you all.

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.
