• Summer Garden Work Parties
  30 Jun 2026
  

  The St. Mark Community Garden is holding work parties every other Saturday throughout the summer and early Fall.  All the folks that have adopted raised beds have agreed to provide 10 hours of volunteer time working on the 1-acre Food Bank garden.  These pictures (click on the image to enlarge) are from the June 13th work party.  It was a beautiful sunny day and 10 of us worked for two hours to beat back many of the weeds. If you’re interested in helping grow the food for the Food Bank, you can show up any morning Monday – Friday from 8-11am, or every other Saturday from 8-10am. The next work party is June 27th.  Contact Gail Frare, the Garden Coordinator at  gatofrare@comcast.net or at 360-870-6267 if you have any questions.

  God does not promise that the path of the disciple will be easy. Jesus declares that his words may bring stark division. Even so, we need not be afraid for God accounts for each hair on our heads. Though we may experience rejection, frustration, division, and death, God’s grace and love make us a new creation each day. Marked with the cross and filled with holy food, we are sent from worship to witness to Christ in the world.
