L.O.L.

( Learn Out Loud, Laugh Out Loud, Live Out Loud, Love Out Loud)

L.O.L.. at St. Mark’s takes place each Thursday night for all middle school, junior high and high school students grades 6-12.  The mission of this night is to provide an inclusive community of holy creative artists learning to give voice to their stories in safe, nurturing space towards a common goal.

Workshops in the fall are based on interest of the youth involved, areas such as photography and pottery.  Workshops in the spring are focused on Theater.  Youth can be involved in acting, backstage crew, or as light/sound technicians.

Music groups, both choir and band (includes strings, brass, woodwinds and percussion), meet through the entire year and are focused on using music to enhance worship at St. Mark’s as well as provide music for any art shows and theater productions.  The schedule for Thursday evenings will be as follows:

5:30-6:15 PM

WITNESS YOUTH CHOIR
