Children’s Church Sunday Mornings 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

Ash Wednesday Liturgy and Ashes to Go February 18

On Ash Wednesday February 18 St. Mark’s is offering an Ash Wednesday Holy Eucharist service with Imposition of Ashes in-person and via Zoom and Ashes to Go. The worship service and Ashes to Go are free. Everyone is welcome.

The Ash Wednesday Liturgy with Imposition of Ashes will be offered in the church sanctuary at 7:30PM in-person and via Zoom. Masks are optional. If you wish to participate 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.

If you do not have time to participate in an Ash Wednesday worship service, but would like to have ashes imposed on you, try our Ashes to Go at Statue of Morley’s Dog Park across from City Hall in downtown Johnstown. The Reverend Nancy Threadgill will be on hand to impose ashes from 8:00AM-10:00AM and 2:00PM-4:00PM.

Ashes are imposed (laid) on the heads of participants on Ash Wednesday as a sign of mortality and penitence. The ashes are imposed with the words, “Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return” (Book of Common Prayer, p. 265). Ashes are typically imposed by inscribing a cross on the forehead. The imposition of ashes has been practiced on Ash Wednesday since the ninth century. Anyone who desires to receive them is welcome to do so.
