We thank Kerstin for her time and ministry at St. Mark as our Minister of Music. Kerstin decided this week to not accept the new Choir Director position at St. Mark. We continue to hold Kerstin in prayer as she discerns how to use all her gifts in service to the church and we also pray for St. Mark in the midst of these changes.
Please join us for worship on Sunday, June 2 at 10:00 to honor Kerstin’s ministry among us. Kerstin is using her remaining leave time and therefore, this will be her last Sunday at St. Mark. Kerstin requests that, instead of a reception after worship, everyone come and participate fully in worship. If you have sung in the choir at any time over the past five years, you are invited to come at 9:15 to rehearse and sing for worship.
On behalf of the people of St. Mark, thank you, Kerstin, for serving as our Minister of Music. Your leadership of our choirs, your sensitivity to the Spirit, your knowledge of worship, your skill as a musician, and your gift of song are appreciated. We give thanks to God, to you, and to your family. God bless you, and, again, thank you!

Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth.
Serve the Lord with gladness;
Come into God’s presence, with a song.
Know that the Lord is God,
our maker to whom we belong;
we are God’s people and the sheep of God’s pasture.
+ Psalm 100: 1-3
