Annual Meeting and Potluck Lunch
Sunday, 1/26
Our annual meeting is scheduled for the last Sunday in January. We'll begin with a tailgate-themed potluck lunch. After the meal, we'll begin the meeting with a movie of photos taken during events of 2024. We'll also elect three new vestry members, hear about how we ended up financially for 2024, and learn about plans for 2025.
Please sign up to bring a dish on your Connection Card this Sunday. You may also contact the church office by calling (361) 994-0285 to let the staff know what you'd like to bring. Here are some ideas of typical tailgate food:

Ministry in Partnership
with Timon's Ministry
Over the course of many years, St. Mark's has partnered with Timon's Ministry in various ways. Timon's goal "is to provide a hand up, empowering individuals to regain their strength, dignity, and ultimately, their place in the workforce." Our women's reunion group has discovered several ways to serve this community.
Members of the group have been volunteering their time at Timon's Ministry working in the Clothing Closet organizing items and visiting with people. The group has asked for help with their efforts through any of the following ways:
-
Donating band aids, bandages, and gauze
-
Donating clothing, especially men's shirts, jeans, or athletic shoes
-
Donating travel size deodorant, toothpaste, shampoo, conditioner, bars of bath soap, body wash
-
Donating toothbrushes
-
Donating items for to-go food bags: tuna and cracker packs, granola bars, chips, bottled water, etc.
-
Sorting clothing on Mondays from 8:45 - noon.
You may leave your donations in designated boxes located in the entryway to the sanctuary and in the fellowship hall. Contact Pam Cater at (361) 446-4498 for more information.
Adult Bible Study of the Gospel of Mark
All are welcome to join the Bible study. Come to one week, or come to them all. The class meets in the fellowship hall at noon and ends around 1:00 p.m. Grab a cup of coffee and some snacks, then head over to the designated tables to sit down.
