Each year for several decades, we have joined with other religious groups to provide stuffed stockings for the 335 patients of Torrance State Hospital.

cookies, crackers, or snack cakes, small bags of chips, Doritos, or cheese curls, non-refrigerated pudding, apple sauce or fruit cups, and soft candies.

A New Year, A New Worship Service Time

Starting January 5, 2025 our service will start at 9:00AM EST.  Services will continue to start at 9:00AM throughout January, February and March 2025. Our service will return to an 11:30AM start in April. All services will be available in-person and via Zoom. Coffee hour will follow the service.

Why the change? Bishop Ketlen has asked our Priest-in-Charge, The Reverend Nancy Threadgill to provide Sunday Holy Eucharist for both St. Mark’s and our sister parish St. Francis-in-the-Fields, Somerset. Both parishes surveyed their parishioners last autumn to see what service times they preferred. Both parishes selected these two times. We are testing the waters to see how this schedule works for both parishes in preparation for our sharing a full-time Priest-in-Charge in the near future.

We will continue to offer Holy Eucharist Rite II most Sundays. On the fourth Sunday of each month we offer Holy Eucharist Rite I. If our Priest is unavailable, we offer Morning Prayer. Masks are optional. All are welcome. The worship service bulletin will be available under Worship.
