Lake Barrington Woods Senior Residence-Sunday Worship Service
Every Sunday for the past 12 or more years St. Mark's has provided the Sunday Morning Worship service. This is a full service providing music, lessons, a sermon in line with the Revised Common Lectionary, and the offering of Holy Communion. There is a team of 5 members who rotate each Sunday. They provide this service for between 20 and 30 residents each week, many who are extremely consistent in attendance.
Cuba Township Food Pantry
On the first Sunday of every month, St. Mark's collects specified food and household items. They are first offered at the time of the "offering" blessed and then sorted for distribution. On Monday the items are delivered to the Cuba Township who then allocates and then distributes all that has been collected. Participation in this program has been generous and consistent.
