CONFIRMATION CLASSES Are you curious about the Episcopal Church? Are you interested in joining St. Mark's, being confirmed or simply looking for a refresher on what we believe and why we worship the way we do? This fall, Jenny will be offering Confirmation Classes for anyone who wants to explore the Episcopal tradition in a welcoming, conversation-based setting. Whether you're brand new to the church or have been here for years, these classes are a wonderful opportunity to ask questions, deepen your faith, and get to know others on the journey. Class meeting times will be determined based on the schedules of those who are interested. If you'd like to participate - or simply want to learn more - please contact the church office or speak with Jenny. We'd love to have you join us!
