On Sunday, September 8th, St. Mark celebrated Rally Day and the 25th Anniversary of the ELCA with a food drive for the Thurston County Food Bank (TCFB). Food was processed in during worship and a “noisy” (and not so noisy!) offering taken.
Cases of food were brought by church members. The food was initially gathered at the altar, and at the end of the second service, the food was brought out and loaded into a horse trailer. It was then taken to the TCFB to be unloaded and weighed.
From Pastor Beth: “Thanks be to God!! Thank you, people of St. Mark, for your generosity. Even more importantly, the people of St. Mark give thanks for the faithful work of the Thurston County Food Bank and that those who are hungry in our community have a place to get food. Thank you! ”
