DID YOU KNOW on average, nearly 20 people per minute are physically abused by an intimate partner in the United States. During one year, this equates to more than 10 million women and men: 1 in 3 women and 1 in 4 men have been victims of [some form of] physical violence by an intimate partner within their lifetime. As Christians we should be doing everything we can to help these victims. In St. Louis, Lydia's House works in faith to end domestic violence by being a place of healing and a voice of hope for abused women and their children

Each December the deacons have sponsored a fundraiser for the sole purpose of donating to Lydia’s House. For many years it was a Holiday House Tour that has now evolved into a Christmas Table Top Tour and Tea. The second Tour and Tea will be held on Saturday, December 3, from 2:30-4:00 pm in the Narthex. Tour table tops decorated for Christmas and enjoy a light tea of sweets and savories at St. Mark with friends and/or family.
Last year, the Narthex was transformed into a beautiful winter and holiday season showcase. Do you enjoy creating a lovely table setting? We are currently accepting table decorators and hostesses. St. Mark provides the table, tablecloth, and refreshments; decorators may create the table top design they wish!
Contact D. Cloud or the church office (636-394-2233) for more information.
