Psalm 100:5 – For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations.

With great joy, we kick off our 75th Anniversary with a year-long celebration. As we journey through the year ahead, you’ll experience new elements in worship, new connections among the congregation, and the opportunity to extend grace and prayers to our community. 

All of this is possible because of the creativity, organization, and detailed planning by our staff, council members, and 75th Anniversary committee.  Please extend your thanks to these leaders. One of the best ways to demonstrate your appreciation is to show up, be present, and engage in the worship, fellowship, and service events planned throughout the year. After all, this celebration marks a new chapter for St. Mark’s, and we want YOU to be a part of it! 

Your Council is working diligently on several key areas: 

  • Policy review and continuing resolution updates
  • 2026 Budget preparation for the semi-annual congregational meeting  
  • Strategic Direction: Council members are reviewing ministry goals for the coming year, with an emphasis on strengthening engagement, stewardship, and community outreach.  

As we prepare to celebrate this significant milestone, the Council gives thanks for God’s enduring goodness and for the faithful leadership and participation of our congregation.  

Growing Together,

Leah Gradl & Jim Law

Council President & Vice President
