WORSHIP FOCUS: 

"Created to Create"

We have been created in the image of God, which means we were created to create. We were not created to break down or destroy. So we have decisions to make every day: What will you decide to break down or build up? Will it contribute or remove?

"Being Made New"

In a world riddled with fear, fires, illness, injustice, hatred, and hurricanes, hear the good news: God is reconciling all to Godself! God's kingdom has dawned. Distinctions, divisions, death, and disease no longer hold power over us. Instead, each of us is a recipient of God's pure, absolute gifts of grace and forgiveness.

WORSHIP FOCUS

"To Everything There is a Season"

The author of the book of Ecclesiastes tells us there's a season for everything. Jesus knew all there was to know about time. He knew when his time had come to give up his life. He knew whom to trust with his life, with his own coming and going. What season are you in? Where is Jesus calling you to come and follow?

"Why St. Mark's?"

Final week of our July "WHY?" series

For the past three Sundays, we have been asking "why?" as a focus for our sermons. This Sunday, we wrap up with our final sermon in the series: "Why St. Mark's?" Of all the places you could choose to be, of all the communities you could be a part of, of all the mission statements you could pledge yourself to ... how do you answer the question: "Why St. Mark's?" Our answer will be guided by Psalm 23 and John 10 where Jesus says, "Very truly I tell you."

 "Why Lutheran?"

Week 3 of our July "WHY?" series

The official tagline of the ELCA encapsulates one of our most basic convictions in just four words: “God’s work. Our hands.” As Lutherans, we believe we are freed in Christ to serve and love our neighbor. And that is exactly what our high school students have been doing this past Mission Trip week: serving our neighbors in the Aurora community. This Sunday you’ll have an opportunity to hear from them, along with Pr. Patrick, as they share what they’ve experienced and learned. Hear these amazing young people who are leading the way for change in our community. You’ll be inspired!

"Why Christian?"

Week 2 of our July "WHY?" series

Why do Christians choose to be “Christian”? Why choose to follow Christ? Many people come to believe in Jesus not because of something that can be argued, logic-ed, or reasoned. Belief often comes because of an experience where people  recognize that Jesus/God is present. What evidence of God is in your life's experience? Where or when has your life's story met God's story? As Jesus' beckons, “Come and see.”
