DEADLINE FOR MEMORIAL HYMN SING HYMN REQUESTS SUNDAY APRIL 17TH

Deadline for submission of hymn requests is 
Sunday, April 17th. 
See previous blogpost: Letter re 50th Anniversary Hymn Sing and Ringing of Memorial Bell
This year St. Mark’s United Church is marking a significant milestone as we celebrate our 50th Anniversary. The congregation of St. Mark’s is pleased to announce that we will be holding a Memorial Hymn Sing and Ringing of the Memorial Bell on Sunday, May 1st at 2:30 p.m. A Memorial Hymn Sing is an opportunity to offer thanks for the lives of deceased loved ones and to honour them in a sharing of joyful, sacred music. In this, our Jubilee Year, it seems especially appropriate to look back and pay tribute to all the faithful congregation members who have played such important roles in St. Mark’s history. 

We hope that you’ll consider remembering your loved ones at this special anniversary service of song. A candle will be lit and the Memorial Bell rung with each selection of music as the names of those being remembered and those of donors are read. At this event, the Memorial Bell which came to St. Mark’s from Zion-Robertson United Church will be rung at worship for the first time in 50 years. A time of light refreshment will follow the service.
