Second Saturday Service for kids and their families

A Saturday Night Worship service for kids and their families!

Youth will be leading the worship, reading the scriptures, and serving on the Altar. Our music will be less traditional than what we have Sunday mornings and the dress is Saturday casual!

Our next Saturday Night Kids and Family service will be November 9th at 4 PM. Afterward, there will be food, games and fun for the youth from 5 - 7 PM.

All are welcome. We will have Evening Prayer. Please join us, and bring a friend to this comforting service.

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.
