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 5 Sundays - May 5th, 12th, 19th, and 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!
