St. Mark's Presbyterian Church Organizations
|
Presbyterian Women St. Mark's has a very active Presbyterian Women's Organization. We have two Presbyterian Women's Circles (Elizabeth and Esther Circles), one meeting in the daytime and the other meeting in the evening. These women share God's love with each other and with the community through Bible study, fellowship events, and mission fundraisers, including twice-a-year clothing and rummage sales. The Elizabeth Circle meets the second Tuesday of every month at 7:30 PM in the home of one of our members. The Esther Circle meets the second Tuesday of every month at 1:30 PM at the church. In addition there is a monthly general luncheon meeting of both groups held at 11:00 AM on the third Thursday of every month at the church. |

Nancy Knapp began the St. Mark's high school program in September 1993. She was joined by Linda Harris in April 1994. Nancy retired in June 1999 and Linda Harris continues with approximately 30 students. Students are referred by the administrator at their comprehensive high school. They must be capable of completing their course work independently. They meet once a week with their teacher to receive assignments and turn in completed work. As courses are completed, credit is given toward a high-school diploma. Independent Study is a good option for those with extenuating problems. |
