Wherever we each have come from today, it's good to be together. Whether new or old, visitor or member, when we gather and worship, we are visibly representing the body of Christ. St. Mark’s is a downtown church that welcomes a wide diversity of people. We take the ministry of hospitality very seriously, based on the ministry of Jesus Christ whose level of acceptance was extraordinary. St. Mark’s Core Vocation: Feeding San Antonio with the Bread of Life Feeding the hungry with real food Feeding those who are hungry for knowledge and meaning Feeding those who are hungry for beauty and creativity Visitors: Please take a moment and fill out a Visitor Information Card which can be found in the pews. This can be placed in the offering plate or handed to an usher or greeter. If you would like to fill out a visitor card but did not fill one out at church, we have an online version at www.stmarks-sa.org/#/home/newcomers. For information regarding baptism, weddings, confirmation and reception, and membership, please contact The Rev. Carol Morehead at cmorehead@stmarks-org.
Nursery Available Our Nursery, located in the Parish Hall, is available for children, ages 6wks-6yrs.

Flowering of the Cross At the 9 and 11:15 services this morning, children can bring flowers from home to insert into the special wire mesh cross at church.
