Inclement Weather Policy
It is the intent of the St. Mark's community to
provide an opportunity for worship and ministry whenever possible, However,
times may exist when the severity of weather events may cause the leaders
of the church to consider the safety of all members and cancel worship
and ministry activities. Should such an event occur, the standard
policy for cancellation rests upon the decision made by the Murfreesboro
City Schools. Should this school system choose to cancel activities,
ministries at St. Mark's will also cancelled on that day.
Members are encouraged to check the home page
of the church website for specific cancellations - www.stmarkstn.org. |
| Worship at St. Mark’s is fueled
by one purpose: to focus wholly and completely upon God. We strive
to be a church in mission with the world, bringing the light of Christ
to a world in need and helping create a place where people can serve in
the spirit of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. We believe that
focusing upon God allows us to hear and respond to the call that God has
placed upon our lives. With that in mind, we encourage you to step
back from the clutter of life, examine your relationship with God, and
come to St. Mark’s for worship. At St. Mark’s, we try to avoid labels
directed toward worship—we would rather you come and see for yourself what
it means to come before God with singing, prayer, and the written and spoken
Word of God.
As a part of our United Methodist heritage, we
don’t ask you to check your mind at the door when you enter. If you
are troubled and wondering how to begin or renew your relationship with
a loving God, we invite you to come. If you feel alone and don’t
know where to turn, we invite you to come. If you want to celebrate
the joy that life and a new day brings, we invite you to come. If
you like to think about your faith and enjoy being challenged by the Holy
Spirit to do more, act more, and be a part of something bigger than yourself,
we invite you to come. No matter where you are in life, you are welcome.
The best part of the nature of God’s grace is
that it has been given freely to us. In worship, we give thanks to
God for this gift, and we witness and receive it through the sacraments
of Holy Communion and Christian Baptism. By focusing completely upon
the abundance of life and goodness that comes from God, we bring ourselves
to a fuller relationship with God that empowers us to lead our world in
the pursuit of love, peace, and joy.
We invite you to be a part of worship! Our
services are on Sunday mornings. See the worship schedule below for
a list of times and opportunities. If you have any questions or desire
to be in further discussion about worship, please contact Rev. Jackson
Henry at (615) 893-3455, or jackson@stmarkstn.org.
