The four high school graduates each received the Martin Luther King scholarship from St. Mark’s, after completing acts of service in the church and community.
Additionally, we recognized our church school students and their teachers, Doris Dorvill, Kerri Mather, and Terry-Ann Dias. Our church school is at the heart of our congregation and we are so grateful to these dedicated leaders who have enabled it to grow and thrive.
Lastly, but certainly not least, we thanked our choir under the direction of George Wesner as they conclude their program year.
The service was followed by a picnic on the lawn.
