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 May 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!
