THE LORD CONTINUES HIS WORK AND MINISTRY!

Say Hello to St. Mark’s New Director of Children and Family Ministry

Kirsten Suhr

Kirsten Suhr is a long-time member of St. Mark and has served our Lord and His Church through a distinguished career as a Lutheran Christian Educator.  With a Master’s degree in Early Education, as well as a teaching career marked with and awarded for exceptional accomplishment, Kirsten is uniquely equipped to connect with parents, families and their children for the sake of connecting them to Jesus and ensuring our ministry here at St. Mark keeps them rooted and growing in their faith in dynamic and exciting ways.  Once she wraps up her final school semester this Spring, Kirsten will begin her transition to full time ministry here at St. Mark beginning June 1, 2020.  I am thankful for how the Lord continues to equip His Church and people as we faithfully carry out His Great Commission, and I look forward to the great things I know will come from Kirsten’s dedicated effort to our children and families.

YES, YOUR CHURCH STILL NEEDS YOU!

I pray you are being encouraged and edified by how hard our staff and countless volunteers are working to keep our mission and ministry alive here at St. Mark even in these most difficult and strange times.  Please remember that our ability to minister to you from a distance and through technology is an investment we have made, and that needs to be maintained.  If you are unable to deliver your regular tithes and offerings to the church in person, please take the time and small effort to safely and securely remain faithful to Your Lord and His church by giving online.

Setting Up Your Online Giving is Easy!
