Children’s Church Sundays at 10:00AM
Children’s ministry is essential to welcoming children to the church. It lets them hear the ancient stories in words that are familiar to them and makes lessons concrete in games and crafts. It provides a foundation for their faith and relationship with God. It helps them feel truly a part of the family of God.
St. Mark’s Children’s Church meets every Sunday in the Children’s Corner of the Fellowship Hall. It starts at the same time as the Worship Service. The children and their teachers later join the congregation in the main sanctuary for Holy Eucharist.

Annual Christmas Stocking Stuffer Project
Each year for several decades, we have joined with other religious groups to provide stuffed stockings for the 335 patients of Torrance State Hospital. The stockings/gift bags are stuffed with toiletries (no pumps or cans), ankle or crew socks, card games, activity books, coloring books, blank greeting cards, packs of cookies, crackers, or snack cakes, small bags of chips, Doritos, or cheese curls, non-refrigerated pudding, apple sauce or fruit cups, and soft candies. For the safety of the patients, no nuts, hard candy, gum, staples, wire, or long strings are allowed. If you would like to donate, please hand-deliver or ship your donated items to St. Mark’s Episcopal Church, 335 Locust Street, Johnstown PA 15901 on or before Sunday November 22.
Holiday Food for Families
During the Month of November, Pastoral Care will provide families who request assistance with the food items necessary for a holiday meal. If you know a family who might benefit, please share that information with Joanne, a member of the ECW. Beginning November 10th, we will accept donations of turkeys and turkey breasts, hams and also non-perishables in order to assemble boxes for at least 5-6 families. Any non-perishable items are much appreciated and may be placed on the food pantry shelves at any time.
