"For where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there among them.”  (Matthew 18:20, NRSV)

Birdsboro Senior Group at St. Mark’s 

We are adding to our schedule. The first & third Thursday schedule will remain the same. On the second Thursday starting in October, we will have Game Day. This will be more casual. You and your friends can bring a game or use one of ours. The games will start at 9:30 AM. You should bring a snack to share. We will provide beverages. We will not be serving lunch. Occasionally on the 4th Thursday, there will be trip day. The first 14 to sign up can ride in our van. Anyone else who would like to go shall carpool. The trips will be announced soon. It could be lunch at Yoders, a movie, the Pottstown Carousel and mini golf, the recycling plant, Daniel Boone Homestead just to name a few. All charges will be your own. We will just organize and transport.

Our next get together is September 21, 2023. The group will gather on the first and third Thursday of each month. Doors will open at 9 AM. Anyone 55 and over in the Birdsboro area is welcome. Bingo will be the first Thursday of each month and a craft on the third Thursday of the month. Both will start at 9:30. A home cooked meal will be served at Noon followed by another activity to be announced.

Transportation is available. Please call the office to make arrangements.

Native American Ministry

At this time we are collecting School Supplies (book bags, pens, pencils, paper, binders, etc.). In addition to school supplies the children need new underwear and socks (all sizes, both genders).

They are also in need of non-perishable foods (canned fruits, veggies, tuna, spam, chicken, etc.). Lastly, baby diapers and wipes.

If you are interested in making any donations, there will be a Native American box in the Narthex. Thanks for all your support.
