2023 has been a busy year for the Fellowship Committee:
• The All-Church Picnic was held in June and coincided with Dave’s sabbatical send off. It was a large gathering held outside on the church grounds, with simple food offerings and was well attended. We included a new treat this year, Kona Ice for dessert! There was corn hole and other activities for the children.
• The committee hosted a hot dog lunch for the ABC Sale workers on the first day of donation drop offs.
• Fellowship participated in Discover St. Mark Sunday, with coffee, donut holes and lots of information about our committee!
• Pastor Dave’s 6th Anniversary and Pastor MP’s 4th Anniversary celebrations were combined in October for one big pie Sunday. The committee and church members baked pies and shared them with our church family! It was such a blessing to be able to gather with our church family in gratitude for our pastors and their tireless work!
• Giving Thanks continues to be a highlight of the fall season and was held the Sunday before Thanksgiving in November. We hosted a great turnout using our traditional recipes for casseroles, turkey and gravy. Plenty of delicious desserts were also shared and leftovers were encouraged to be taken home.
• The Jingle Mingle was once again combined with the Children’s Christmas musical and was held immediately after the program. Lots of families and friends attended the musical and then joined in the fellowship afterward at the Jingle with appetizers, desserts and punch.
• As the Saturday evening service was ending in December, we provided a cookie cake to recognize and appreciate Mark Reynosa’s musical contributions to St. Mark.
• The committee has been busy keeping the kitchen clean and organized. We have also lent a helping hand to other committees as needed.
If you have an interest in joining the Fellowship Committee please contact Lisa Marsh, Fellowship Chair as of 2024. We are a busy committee, but we have a lot of fun and we would love to share your ideas and helping hands!
