Without a vision, the people perish.
Proverbs 29:18
For 100 years St. Mark’s Lutheran Church has been a church
with a vision. We strive to make God’s love alive in what we do, in how we
serve, in caring for each other and for all those around us, whoever they might
be. In doing that we have enjoyed the blessings of God as a multi-church;
multi-racial, multi-cultural, multi-lingual, multi-age, multi-class, even
multi-denominational. May that vision continue to bind us together and
strengthen us as we enter into our second hundred years.
