St. Mark’s Ministries

 

Backpack Program 
IMG_3952
Every Thursday during the school year volunteers pack donated food and drinks into ordinary looking backpacks at the Board of Education building. Additionally, a Mountaineer food truck comes to the Moose Lodge every 3rd Thursday at 11:30 a.m. and help is always needed to unload and put food away at either the board of education office or community kitchen. St. Mark’s volunteers are especially needed every third Thursday of the month to pack backpacks. Set-up begins at 9:30 a.m. and bagging begins at 10:00. Backpacks are distributed to children who are at risk of being without food when school is not in session on weekends and holidays. The program is designed to help students without being obvious about it. Contact Susan Caperton for more information at (304) 258-1888.

Bible Study
Please join us for our Lenten Bible Study in the undercroft (basement) of the church. We meet on Wednesday mornings at 11:00 a.m. throughout Lent. There is very limited parking at the church. The St. Mark’s parking lot is between Warren and Market Streets, just North of the church office.

Community Meal
Volunteers from St. Mark’s prepare and serve a hot meal on the 3rd Friday of each month at Starting Points Resource Center’s community kitchen in Berkeley Springs. Volunteers are welcome and needed between 1:00 and 5:30 p.m. Contact Laura Smith to volunteer or for more information at lrsmith8507.gmail.com.
