THIS MORNING DURING THE 10:30 SERVICE, Ellen Treadwell is being presented with a bow that she made as part of an archery class. Roger Thomas teaches archery with a focus on Christian prayer and dedication through his course “S.P.I.R.I.T.T. of H.O.P.E.” (Strength, Purpose, Integrity, Responsibility, Initiative, Trust, Teamwork, Help, Opportunity, Power, Equality). Ellen made this bow herself after achieving a specific goal that includes hitting the bulls-eye with 4 out of 6 arrows – twice – from 15 yards! Congratulations, Ellen!
THIS AFTERNOON, STEPHEN KORTE’S Eagle Scout Court of Honor will take place in the Parish Hall. Stephen has worked hard to meet all of the requirements for Eagle Scout and we congratulate him on his achievement!

“MARK IN 90” The Gospel of Mark Performed in 90 Minutes: Don’t miss this! On Friday, November 16 at 7:00pm, St. Mark Lutheran Church is proud to host The Reverend Zac Sturm who will perform the entire Gospel of Mark in 90 minutes from memory. A free-will offering will be collected to benefit Lutheran Campus Ministry-St. Louis. Reverend Zac is pastor of Trinity Lutheran Church (Kirkwood, MO) and is a member of the Network of Biblical Storytellers, Int. Pastor Brian says: “There is something incredibly enlightening about hearing the Gospel of Mark in its entirety. Sometimes we miss connections only hearing a few verses once a week over the course of a year. I encourage everyone to attend this performance, and tell your friends and family about it. You won’t be disappointed!”
