FIRST TIME VISITORS

V I S I T I N G  S T .  M A R K ' S

Upon Entering the Church: Do so reverently. Although a small humble building, St. Mark's has been consecrated and set apart as the House of God. Please treat it with due respect. You will be greeted by other parishioners and visitors, but please do not let the volume exceed what is befitting a sacred space. You may kneel and prepare your heart for the Divine Service.

Gestures: Worshipping in a traditional sense often means learning new ways of moving and interacting. There are times to kneel, to bow, to stand, and to cross yourself. Don't let this discourage you! You'll notice that most are marked in the bulletin, and you can simply follow your neighbor's lead. Such manual acts are physical modes of prayer which highlight the joy or solemnity of portions in the service. 

Tithing: Visitors are by no means obligated to give their tithe to St. Mark's. If you feel so prompted, you may make a small gift for the benefit of the church or the poor.

Communing: If you are a Christian who has been baptized in the Name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit; if you "truly and earnestly repent of your sins, and seek to be reconciled with your neighbors, and intend to lead the new life, following the commandments of God, and walking in his holy ways,"  you may receive the Holy Communion. Kneel down at the rail with one hand placed in the other following your neighbor in front of you. If you are not able to commune for any reason, you may still come forward for a blessing. Simply kneel down with your arms crossed on your chest.

Questions: Feel free to direct all questions or concerns to any member of the clergy either before or after the service.
