THE LORD CONTINUES HIS WORK AND MINISTRY!

Say Hello to St. Mark’s New Director of Administrative Operations

Kelly Thompson

I grew up on my parent’s small family farm in St. Paul, NE. My father, Earl, farmed while my mother, Marilyn, taught elementary school. A life-long Lutheran, I was baptized and confirmed at Christ Lutheran Church in St. Paul, NE (a church that was built by my grandfather Rev. A.L. Kohtz).

Graduating from Kearney State College with a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, I have a diverse career background, primarily focused on accounting and operations. I’ve served in a variety of roles including Office Administrator, Senior Accountant, Controller and Divisional Manager; for small locally owned businesses, national retailers and large, global tech companies.

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!

Verse of the Week: Romans 1:20: For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.

Quote of the Week:
Revive Our Hearts: God is good even when you don’t feel like He’s good. God loves you with a steadfast love even when you feel like He has abandoned you. God is with you in this storm. He’ll never leave you.

Fun Fact of the Week: Kangaroos hop because they can’t move their legs independently.
