A Twenty Two Year Tradition 


Are you struggling to find just the right gifts for family members and friends? Look no further than the St. Mark Christmas Alternatives shopping list! Purchasing a gift through Christmas Alternatives honors the recipient and helps those who have so little, but need so much. 

Please visit our displays in the narthex December 4th, 11th and 18th. We look forward to helping you select the perfect gift! Of course, you are also welcome to drop your completed shopping list and check (Christmas Alternatives on the memo line) in a collection plate, the church office or via mail.
