Our Prayer Chain Ministry consists of men and women who (in their own way place and time) pray for the physical, emotional and spiritual concerns of our parish and community. In response to requests received by members of the chain.

The Pastoral Care Ministry at St. Marks offers care to those who are ill at home, or in hospital, lonely or discouraged, those who cannot get to church, those who are undergoing personal crisis or those who are experiencing a challenge in their life and would benefit from the support of the caring Christian friend. Our clergy and a team of parishioners regularly make visits to people in their homes.
