Annual Report: Excerpts from Membership Committee

. . . .Since the beginning of the pandemic, weekly phone calls were made to members and friends to check on their well-being and to offer assistance. As members were able to return to live church services and other church activities, our call numbers decreased. After twenty-two months, we discontinued our weekly phone calls. Members of the membership committee will continue calling our homebound members on a regular basis. The membership committee wishes to take this opportunity to thank the forty-three women who assisted with this outreach. Your time and friendly voices were greatly appreciated. 

Under the leadership of L. Larimer, a sign committee was formed to explore options for replacing the entrance marquee. Ballwin ordinances did not allow for an electronic, dynamic sign, so the committee decided to utilize the existing brick base and refresh the marquee with a new design created by Abby Reilly. The brilliant blue is a vibrant welcome to our church. We extend our deepest appreciation to E. Hudson family for providing the funds in memory of Mae. A dedication will be held in the spring. 

The yearly guidebook/directory was delayed because of production problems due to Covid-19 but delivered in late spring. Photos have been taken and layout has begun on the pictorial directory. The book will include activity pages, a photo section, and a roster listing all church members. This edition will celebrate St. Mark’s 60th anniversary and will be published in the spring.

 Respectfully submitted, 

Bette Nuzum, Chair
