Mission Giving
St. Mark's contributes to "Advance Specials" annually. The Lenten and Advent envelopes have been designated as the two times a year we contribute to these needs. The following projects have been chosen by our Administrative Council as our 2012-2013 Advance Specials:
Hope for the Children of Africa & America
Red Bird Mission (Southeastern Kentucky)
Grace Hospital - Haiti
Additional Giving at St. Mark's:
Church World Service: undergirds all of our mission work around the world. Church World Service funds make it possible for the United Methodist Church to send missionaries to many countries; to build churches, schools, and hospitals; to educate and train leaders. Our regular church budget provides for designated mission giving to World Services. Our unit of United Methodist Women also gives several thousand dollars each year to missions in support of children, youth, and families.
