The Current was special and beautiful today! We had two baptisms (one a Grandpa baptizing his Grandson), we welcomed our newest confirmation class and we said thank you to the Vance family and who are beginning a new journey in their calling at a new church. We learned that each of us is a part of the family of God and contribute to the mission of the church in our own ways, like individual pieces of a puzzle. We're thankful for the Vance family who have added their pieces in special ways to this puzzle in there time here and we are excited to see the ways in which our newest members each contribute their piece and help us grow together.

Sunday is Justin Vance's last day with us. He has accepted a position at a new church. Be sure to come to church and thank Justin and family for all they've done for us here at St. Mark's and wish them well on their new adventure!
