Three main points to Pastor Eric’s sermon: God is rich in mercy We are built to respond (in love). God pursues us and injects his Grace into us. So what does this look like for the people of God at St. Mark? Listen to the sermon to see what ideas are percolating to ‘inject Grace”…
What a blessing to have a daughter of our congregation, Kahli A., offer a thought-provoking and heart-warming sermon! Being a first year student at a Christian university has given Kahli the opportunity to reflect thoughtfully upon her faith, family, and life. Kahli entitles her sermon “Revelation” and explores the many “veils” that are being…
Jesus says, in today’s Gospel of Mark, “Concern yourself with divine things rather than human things.” He turned to Peter and said, “Remember, you are made for divine things.” In his sermon, Pastor Eric asked us to think about what exactly these divine things are. The Gospel teaches us that divine things include…denying your self,…

Mark 1:9-15 recounts Satan’s tempting of Jesus in the wilderness. Pastor Eric told us that he was going to confess some things to us. But first he had to tell us a joke to center us. And he did. The theme for today is ‘we are the tempted beloved’. Fighting, stealing and telling a lie…

Ash Wednesday worship on Wednesday February 18th at 12noon and 7:00pm with the Imposition of Ashes and Holy Communion. All are welcome!

We believe that we are the church, the body of Christ. What body part are you? Pastor Beth stated that she never really understood the Transfiguration. This part of Jesus’s life goes beyond understanding because with Jesus there’s always more than we can figure out. Jesus can’t be contained. We may not always know what…
On this fifth Sunday after Epiphany, Pastor Eric shared his vision of God’s intimate, immediate kiss of grace. His idea began with a “Thursday Church” exercise of writing words that represented gifts from God on strips of paper and forming them into a chain.
