24.01.2022 Members and Friends of St Mark’s. With today’s announcement of a six-day lockdown, all on site worship services and events at St Mark’s will be suspended until further notice. This includes our regular Sunday services, the Nominations meeting and Fellowship evening planned for Sunday and the Senior’s lunch planned for next Tuesday. Once more details are known, we will provide more information regarding other special services and events, including the planned Confirmation serv...ice on November 29th. We hope to still provide a reduced bulletin, sermon and worship resources for this weekend. Please pray for our leaders, health care workers, vulnerable people in our community and others you know who will be heavily impacted by this lockdown. One of this week’s readings is from Ezekiel 34 which reminds us: ‘For this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I myself will search for my sheep and look after them. As a shepherd looks after his scattered flock when he is with them, so will I look after my sheep’ (v 11-12a).

21.01.2022 It’s the Last Sunday of the Church year but Pete the Puppet has gone missing! Will he show up in time to hear about this week’s Bible reading?

19.01.2022 Yesterday in worship we focussed on 'Supporting Christian Mission' and in particular the work of the Sprau family in PNG. Patrick, Anke, Jeremy and Benji Sprau are members of our church currently serving in Ukarumpa, PNG, providing medical support to Bible translators and the surrounding villages. Watch the following clip to learn more about the clinic they are working in: https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=YJQyhmBq8LU... Go to the following page to support the Sprau's work financially: https://wycliffe.org.au/member/patrick-anke/ We pray that God continues to bless and sustain the Spraus and the important work they are doing in Jesus' name.

12.01.2022 Some words of encouragement from the book of Deuteronomy, Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified... for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you (31:6). We will let you know what the latest restrictions mean for our church activities and services soon. Until then we trust that God will guide us through these days as he has done in the past and promises to do in the future.

11.01.2022 Join us at St Mark’s tomorrow for our mid-week Holy Communion service at 11am followed by a shared lunch. Our focus will be Joshua 24:15, ‘As for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.’ All welcome.

02.01.2022 Dear St Mark’s community, Despite the announcement that restrictions in South Australia will ease on Saturday night, we have decided to stick with the plans we have made over the last few days. This is largely due to the uncertainty of the situation and the pressure another change would put on church staff and volunteers at this late stage. So here is a summary:... - There will be no regular Sunday services at St Mark’s this week - The nominations meeting and fellowship evening will be rescheduled at a later date - The planning for Confirmation service on November 29th is ongoing and a decision will be made about the format as soon as possible - There will be a reduced version of the bulletin, sermon and worship resources made available online this weekend - There will be an opportunity for an informal devotion and discussion time online this Sunday November 22nd at 9:30am on Zoom. Please see your church bulletin and emails for details. Please continue to pray for our leaders, health care workers and vulnerable members of our community and make contact with us if you have any questions or concerns. Remember, ‘Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever’ and we are thankful he is! (Heb 13:8)

02.01.2022 We are pleased to announce the resumption of Sunday services this week at 8:30am and 10:30am. We thank Pastor David Buck for leading these. We are also excited to celebrate the Confirmation of twenty-one young people over two afternoon services. Unfortunately attendance at these is restricted due to COVID-19 but we hope to make recordings available at a later date.

01.01.2022 Our Gift Tree is still up at church this weekend so you are welcome to bring something in this Sunday or any time during the next few days. Gifts can range from birth to teenagers, with books and creative toys as good options (please remember to leave presents unwrapped). All our gifts will be going down to Lutheran Community Care on Monday.
