"Signs" of hope for the future

The brave new face of St Mark's ... feel it, it is here!

St Mark's is clicking slowly but surely into high gear and there are now visible signs of the Lord's presence in Yeoville.

Not least of these is the massive new signboard on the corner of Kenmere Road and Frances Streets. The original signboard was stolen some years back, but our 21st century replacement, which was funded and built by Men for the Master, with considerable help from our part time "sign writer" Maureen Schoenfeldt,  is a fitting replacement.

This was a key project for the newly formed Men for the Master, as it was felt that new worshippers needed guidance as to where to find the church and to find out what what St Mark's is and was, a Presbyterian church in good standing.

Another challenge was how to get the benefits of the daily St Mark's Online blog, also a Men for the Project, to members of the congregation, who did not have internet connections. That one was easily solved when Session met for the recent Retreat.

We have now put a "print" button the Blog, to facilitate the printing the key articles and sticking these on the noticeboard for the congregation to peruse before tea.

NOTE Those who want hard copies can now simply ask the church office for a printout.

  1. I think we should let the people know that they can read the Marksman on the noticeboard. Pictures would be nice too.
