Christian Passover Celebration

During Holy Week we celebrate the Pesach, or Passover.  We celebrate as an adapted version of the Jewish Passover rite, in solidarity with, and in full acceptance and Jews worldwide as people of the covenant.  


Tradition teaches us that we must all consider ourselves as slaves in Egypt, that we must all consider ourselves to have walked in darkness, so that we might celebrate the deliverance in the Exodus as our own deliverance. It is in that spirit of community that we observe the Passover tradition, and look to Jesus Christ, who for us is the Passover lamb.    


Summer time at the church

Twice a year we gather for a congregation outing that includes worship, good food, music, and activities for children, youth, and adults. Traditionally, we have done this on Memorial Day and in September for Rally Day,

Trunk or Treat

We celebrate All Hallows Eve by holding our annual Trunk or Treat in the back parking lot. Members decorate their trunks or donate individually-wrapped bags of candy. Free popcorn and a movie playing on the side of the building add to the fun atmosphere. Our youth sell corn dogs, nachos, and sodas as well.


Christmas Parties

The congregation holds an annual Christmas program that includes a children's Christmas play, music by the Chancel Choir, the Handbell Choir, 

and a covered dish supper.  


St. Mark's Preschool presents an annual Christmas pageant before recessing for the holidays.
