Welcome To St. Mark's Lutheran Church!
 Connect
St. Mark's is participating with several other congregations in a renewal
program through the South-Central Synod of Wisconsin, ELCA called Connect.
Connect is a two year program. Congregations support each other through
Bible study and reflection, helping to identify and clarify the mission of
each church and provide a foundation for new ministry opportunities. St.
Mark's is excited to participate in this program and to further develop
their hospitality ministries. Our mission statement is, "Reaching out with
the unconditional love of God" though even this may be tweaked during the
coming months.
Diana Butler Bass, a noted church historian, has observed that customs are
what define the way a church cuts their communion bread, or what time
service is or even what kind of music is played. Tradition is knowing that
we are called to Jesus' table of grace, that we gather for worship out of
thanksgiving, and we are to be Christ in the world. Custom's may need to
change. Tradition is what keeps us grounded. Come and join us as we honor a
faith tradition more than two thousand years old but that is necessary and
relevant in our changing world.
Thank You to the Boy Scouts!
The Boy Scouts from Trinity
United Methodist brought us 85 bags of food this month. We are grateful for
the variety they bring!

Easter 2017
 From
Our Pastor:
Living Into the Resurrection
From the
May, 2017 issue of Branches
Dear Friends:
Yes, we celebrated Easter on Easter Sunday but Easter is not over. Every
Sunday is a celebration of the Easter story. The day of Resurrection is so
meaningful, so far reaching that it takes us a whole season to talk, pray,
and worship around the truth, He is Risen! Does the Resurrection of Christ
impact our lives? If so how? These are some of the questions we ask
ourselves.
Blessings, Pastor Lori
