"For where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there among them.” (Matthew 18:20, NRSV)
Our next get-together is January 15. All are welcome. The group gathers on the first and third Thursday of each month. Doors open at 9 AM. Anyone 55 and over in the Birdsboro Area is welcome. Transportation is available. Please call the office to register.
Here is the list of upcoming events: Taco Tuesday for New Journey is on Tuesday, January 6 at 8:30AM. Mission First is Wednesday, January 7. The Senior Group is on January 15, and the cooking begins at 10 AM. Safe Berks is on January 22 at 2:30 PM. All Volunteers are welcome. Veteran’s Stand Down is Saturday, January 24 at 8 AM.
Unfortunately, the group that was to provide the community meal on January 6th will not be able to do so…so St Mark’s will be jumping in to provide the meal. Yes, this is the same day as our taco Tuesday, but the Lord never said our work would be easy. Just rewarding!
We will be cooking chicken Alfredo over pasta with a salad and garlic bread. We will need to get members to make desserts. Anyone able to provide desserts, please let us know. Please consider joining us at 5:00 to help greet and serve guests and join us for the meal. This meal is open to all community members.
Hopewell Love Laundry Love ministry has asked if St. Mark’s would help with the on-going need of laundry detergent. Donations of new detergent bottles can be dropped off in the narthex.
The Outreach Committee will be putting together items for families leaving Safe Berks to take with them once safe housing is found. Items will include: dishpan, dish towels and cloths, drying pad, hot pads, table settings for 4, silverware, dish soap. Place settings have been donated from the VFW and Fabric ministry will provide dish cloths. Please consider donating any of the other items to these families in need. BB&B is providing meals to Safe Berks through October.
