Welcome to St. Mark’s Lutheran Church & School!
In the name of our Savior, Jesus Christ, we welcome you to St. Mark’s.  We especially welcome our guests who have joined us today. 
We pray you will be strengthened by the good news about God’s grace, love, and forgiveness to us through Jesus.

Worship Focus: Who is God and what is he like? We see from creation and his Word that he’s powerful and he’s caring. As believers in Jesus, we recognize the same power and care at work in our divine Savior. These truths comfort our hearts in times of hardship, difficulty, and sadness as we recognize and remember the heart of our God for us, his people.

Fifteenth Sunday after Pentecost

Fifteenth Sunday after Pentecost
September 2, 2018
 
Welcome to St. Mark’s Lutheran Church & School!
In the name of our Savior, Jesus Christ, we welcome you to St. Mark’s.  We especially welcome our guests who have joined us today. 
We pray you will be strengthened by the good news about God’s grace, love, and forgiveness to us through Jesus.

Worship Focus: When you are talking with someone what can become annoying to you during that conversation? How about being interrupted? How about when they look beyond you? How about when you ask them a question regarding the topic and the person responds with a grunt or an answer unrelated to the conversation? Listening is a skill, and it is an action of respect. We want people to listen to us, so we ought to listen to them (circumstances may vary on this). When God talks, which is all the time … thankfully, we need to listen; and such listening is to lead to action, action that will glorify Him and be a blessing to us. More on this in our worship …

Fourteenth Sunday after Pentecost August 26, 2018

Welcome to St. Mark’s Lutheran Church & School!
In the name of our Savior, Jesus Christ, we welcome you to St. Mark’s.  We especially welcome our guests who have joined us today. 
We pray you will be strengthened by the good news about God’s grace, love, and forgiveness to us through Jesus.

Focus of Today’s Service: The world offers us many pleasures and philosophies. It claims to have knowledge and power. But we know that none of it compares to our God. His wisdom and power are unequaled, and his Word gives life that makes all other worldly pretensions pale in comparison.

August 12, 2018
 
Welcome to St. Mark’s Lutheran Church & School!
In the name of our Savior, Jesus Christ, we welcome you to St. Mark’s.  We especially welcome our guests who have joined us today. 
We pray you will be strengthened by the good news about God’s grace, love, and forgiveness to us through Jesus.

 

Worship Focus: We know that our God has given us a lot of eternal blessings. But sometimes we can focus on and even worship the temporal, earthly things in this life instead of our God and Savior. As always in the season of Pentecost, we look for the Holy Spirit’s help in growing in our faith, and today we do that by remembering the eternal blessings and promises our Lord gives us.

Worship Focus: When you are having a conversation with someone what are you counting on to take place? God has a conversation with us every day, at least He desires to do so.

Children Sing - Ninth Sunday after Pentecost

Welcome to St. Mark’s Lutheran Church & School!
In the name of our Savior, Jesus Christ, we welcome you to St. Mark’s.  We especially welcome our guests who have joined us today. 

We pray you will be strengthened by the good news about God’s grace, love, and forgiveness to us through Jesus.

 

Worship Focus: Everyone wants your attention: politicians, advertisers, pastors, etc. Who should you listen to and why? Depends on the situation and on the message. The Bible often uses the phrase ‘sheep without a shepherd’ to describe the people of this world. Why is this a fitting description? What is His solution on who to listen to and why this is to be the case? Reflect on these questions as we hear words from Scripture which remind us of the fact that God keeps His promises. One of those promises is to keep us from being like sheep without a shepherd.

 

Presiding Minister: Pastor Jonathan Kolander
Accompanist: Marty Puckett
Ushers: 8:00 Frank Beaushaw, Mike Lane, Curtis Roth
10:45 Austin Bartlow, Mark Benson, Noel Ledermann, Mike Manthei, Mark Waterman
Altar Flowers: Flowers beautifying the altar have been placed by Greg and Barbara Lazaga on the occasion of their thirty-third wedding anniversary. Happy Anniversary!

Seventh Sunday after Pentecost July 8, 2018

Welcome to St. Mark’s Lutheran Church & School!
In the name of our Savior, Jesus Christ, we welcome you to St. Mark’s.  We especially welcome our guests who have joined us today. 
We pray you will be strengthened by the good news about God’s grace, love, and forgiveness to us through Jesus.

Focus of Today’s Service: Two weeks ago we looked at how God gives us courage in the face of life’s stormy events. Last week we saw how we can take comfort in the fact that Christ conquered death. This week we focus in on another type of difficulty God’s people face in this world: persecution. We need not be dismayed in the midst of persecution because God has given us his Word to sustain us.
