Third Sunday after Epiphany

Worship Focus:  Last week, we began a three-part sermon series on St. Mark’s mission statement, which is a concise summary of the Church’s mission in the Bible: St. Mark’s congregation exists to [1] glorify God, [2] to grow in grace, and [3] to go with the gospel. Last Sunday, we talked about how we glorify God (worship) as a congregation. Next Sunday, we will discuss how we grow in grace (education) as a body of believers. Today, we will consider the third point in our mission statement, to go with the gospel (evangelism).
