EVENTS and NEWS
GOLFERS WANTED!!! -- Saturday, October 2, 2010 
The St. Mark Deacons are proud to announce the upcoming Sixth Annual St. Mark Charity Scramble Golf Tournament, on Saturday October 2nd, 8 AM, at the Landings at Spirit Golf Club, in Chesterfield. The format will be a best ball scramble, which makes it fun for golfers of all skill levels. You can register as an individual player, with a buddy or two, or bring a whole foursome. Breakfast and lunch are included and we will have prizes and giveaways for everyone. Last year the weather was beautiful, we had a great time and we raised over $3,300 for Circle of Concern. Help us to continue this St. Mark annual tradition. In addition, we are looking for businesses interested in sponsoring holes or donating prizes. This is a great way for you to show your support to a St. Mark event and to advertise your business to our members. Sign up forms are now available at the Welcome Center. If you would like more information or if you would like to volunteer, please contact Glen Corlett.

STEPHEN MINISTRY -- What is Stephen Ministry?
Stephen Ministry expands the care St. Mark can offer by equipping and organizing lay members to provide Christian care. This gives us a larger pool of people with the gifts, skills, and calling to bring Christ's love and care to those who most need it. Stephen Ministry was recently featured on PBS’ Faith and Ethics television news program.
You can watch this 8 minute video feature about Stephen Ministry online on the PBS web site. Go to: http://www.pbs.org/wnet/religionandethics/episodes/april-9-2010/stephen-ministry/6044/
