St. Mark’s Sunday Worship Service Time is Changing

Leave a reply

Starting November 3, 2024 our service will start at 11:30AM EST (an hour and a half later than during September & October). Services will continue to start at 11:30AM throughout November and December. In January and February 2025, our service will return to a 9:00AM start. 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.

To join us via Zoom, please contact The Reverend Nancy Threadgill at revnancy-stmarks@atlanticbbn.net or (814) 535-6797 in advance of the service to obtain the login information.
