Thanksgiving Celebration November 27, 2024

Wednesday Nov 27, 2024

GLORIFY HIM …
GROW IN HIM …
GO WITH HIS GOSPEL
We are St. Mark’s Church & School
A WELStNorCal Ministry … Other Area Locations
Foundation – Folsom, Hope – Penryn, Christ – Lodi, St. John – Vacaville
WELS (Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod) is a National Church Body with locations
throughout the United States and with partnerships in over 40 Countries

Worship Focus: Have you grown more content and appreciative of life, material possessions and
health and so on, with age? Or were you more content and grateful as a child? When we take a step
back, we really have a plethora of things to be thankful about; this is not to say life does not have its
difficulties … we have plenty of those too. And yet, even those difficulties serve a purpose. Tonight,
and daily, may we find time to pause and think about life from a thankful point of view. God is good,
all the time! All the time, God is good! Give thanks

A Christian Victory Service for Ann Swan

Wednesday Nov 20, 2024

Be faithful,
even to the point
of death,
and I will give you
the crown of life.
Revelation 2:10

St. Mark’s Evangelical Lutheran Church
Citrus Heights, California
Member of the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod
Service held at St. Mark’s Lutheran in Citrus Heights, CA
November 20, 2024 11:00 A.M.
“We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed;
perplexed, but not in despair” 2 Corinthians 4.
A prayer: Teach us, Lord of heaven and earth, to number our days aright. Hear our prayers and open our
ears to the message You have prepared for us this day. Fill our hearts and minds with the peace which can
only come from You as we mourn the earthly departure of Ann and at the same time celebrate the eternal
victory she has received by Your grace. Amen.

Ascension Sunday - May 12, 2024

Sunday May 12, 2024

GLORIFY HIM ... GROW IN HIM ... GO WITH HIS GOSPEL

CELEBRATING THE GOODNESS OF GOD
Ascension Sunday
May 12, 2024

Worship Focus: The Ascension of Jesus (40 days following His rising from the dead) is significant
as it reiterates the fact peace with God our Creator has been accomplished by what Jesus endured
while on that cross. And now, back in His rightful place, He continues to meet our needs --- pointing
out our sins have been forgiven, working out aspects of life for our good, keeping us on the path to
heaven. Connected to Ascension is the reminder to talk up His name and benefits as often and as to
as many as we can while able to do so. Worship enables us to give thanks to God for all His Truths,
while being built up and building up those with us.

Serving at Worship
Presiding Minister: Pastor Jonathan Kolander
Musical Accompanist & Vocalists: Stephen Bautista and Marissa Renèe

Getting to know Stephen Bautista
Stephen and his family are WELS members who travel around the country for their full-time
Christian music mission. Their goal is to "enlighten the lost and encourage the found" with
Stephen’s original, Christ-centered music. Along with his daughter Marissa, Stephen shares his
music in a very compelling yet soothing style, while conveying a solid Gospel message.

Stephen, his wife, Christy, their nine “road-schooled” children, a dog, and two cats have a home-
base in Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin, but are more often found visiting congregations around the
country in their Chevy Express van with their 33ft travel trailer in tow.

Stephen has five professionally produced CDs that are available for purchase at his concerts and
worship services. His music is also available online at www.StephenBautistaMusic.com, iTunes,
Amazon, and most other online outlets.

Please consider supporting Stephen's music mission by purchasing his CDs and/or contributing a
freewill offering that will help him continue spreading the Gospel of Jesus with his music.

For more information about Stephen's music and upcoming events, visit
