From the moment of birth until the moment of death, we never stop learning. The Sunday morning classes at St. Mark’s strive to satisfy our intellectual hunger. The coffee and pastries will have to suffice for the rest.
For the Adults
Adults get together from 9:15 to 10:15 Sunday mornings. Offerings range from Bible and book study groups to a general forum, which meets in the Parish Hall. The Forum is a large, informal group which examines a variety of topics presented by members of the clergy, the congregation and outside speakers.
Previous subjects have included:
• From Jesus to Constantine
• The Legacy of Jerry Falwell
• The Gospel of Judas: Recent Discoveries
For the Kids
Classes for children ages three through high school are held Sunday mornings from 9:15 until 10:15 from September through May. (Nursery care for infants and toddlers is available during Sunday School and morning worship.)
Backyard Kids (3-4 year olds) This introductory class for young children explores Bible stories appropriate to each season of the Church year. This is a first step in their understanding of the Bible and how our church can be an important part of their lives. This group meets downstairs in the Willcox Building.
Live B.I.G. (K-5th Grade) Sunday School can be FUN! Through Live B.I.G. (Believing in God), we encourage kids to build ever-important faith relationships with God and their friends. We use ways that children learn*hearing, seeing, tasting, smelling and then help them live it out in the world. Our teachers use the multifaceted lessons to encourage the kids to grow as children of God and take what they learn from Sunday school into their everyday lives.
This group meets upstairs in the Willcox Building.
Living the Good News (6-8th Grades) The middle school students use the Living the Good News lectionary-based curriculum. Middle school students use the Sunday readings from our worship and explore them more deeply.
This group meets in the South room.
Putting Faith into Action (9-12th Grades) The St. Mark’s high school class applies scripture to weekly discussion topics relevant to teenagers lives.
This group meets in the EYC Center.
