Feeding The Homeless
One of the Missions for St. Mark is to serve dinners once a month to the homeless. Our Christian Education Committee served Saturday night at the at the Summit Service Center – which offers acute and post-acute medical care for homeless persons who are too ill or vulnerable to recover from a physical illness or injury on the streets, but do not qualify for further hospitalization, rehabilitation services or nursing home care.
