St.Mark's Youth Ministries
Youth are involved in all aspects of St. Mark's
- including worship, outreach, mission, music, and Christian
formation. On Sunday mornings, there are groups for 6th &
7th grades, 8th grade, and high schoolers. Special events are
organized throughout the year for fun and service. In the summers
of 2006 and 2007, youth of St. Mark's, accompanied by adults,
visited Southeast Mexico where they enjoyed building a relationship
with the people of San Marco parish in Nigromante. Planning
and fundraising for a summer 2008 trip to Nigromante are currently
underway.
Pictures and narratives of the 2006 and 2007
trips are available at Nigromante 2007 Nigromante
