FundScrip is a gift card
fundraising program that St. Mark's is going to be using. It’s a great way to
raise money from the purchases we are already making – eliminating the need to
ask you to increase your donations, make another casserole or sell anything.
The program does not ask anyone to change what they buy, where they buy it, or
how much they spend. We just pay with gift cards ordered through the church,
instead of cash, debit or credit. It’s that easy.
How
does it work? Supporters of the church pay for their everyday expenses with
gift cards bought through FundScrip, and a percentage of the gift cards
purchased is donated to the church. Watch for more information in the
weeks ahead! FundScrip is coming soon!

Digital Photo Directory
St. Mark's Christian Education Committee has undertaken the job of producing
a digital photo directory. The purpose of this directory is to give
Nan and newcomers to our Churches a way of recognizing the members of our
congregations. (St. David’s congregation is also joining in this project). This
directory will cost you nothing and we are not selling
photos. We would appreciate the full cooperation of every member and
adherent of both congregations. This project will be concluded by the end of
June and a PDF file will be sent to all members who have email. A .jpg file of
your photo will be available if you wish to take it to be printed. During this
period, you may be getting a call from Bonnie, Camille, Joyce or Natasha
to arrange for a sitting. St. David’s Elders will be calling to arrange for pictures
and directory entries. Pictures will be taken after the Church Service at St.
Mark’s on June 2nd and 9th. If you are not available on these Sundays, another
time can be arranged for your convenience. Even if you are an occasional church
attender, you are still important to us and we want to include you. Please help
us to make this venture a success!
