Summer at St. Mark’s

Sunday Worship Services

9am | Blended Service

This worship service draws on a wide variety of musical traditions for both hymns and special music – from Scandinavian folk tunes to Asian or Latin American songs of praise; from medieval chants to African American spirituals–celebrating the rich variety of music that God has given to the Church.

10:30am | Contemporary Service

The singing at this service is led by a band which includes piano, drums, bass guitar, and often another lead guitar or acoustic guitar, blending contemporary music with historic elements of worship that are in all of our services.

Both services are live-streamed on the St. Mark’s Facebook page.
