A Message from our Senior Pastor

I believe St. Mark's United Methodist Church exists to be a living, praying, growing example of Jesus Christ, which is empowered and led by the Holy Spirit, to reach out with love and compassion to our community and the world.

We will do this through the personal witness of our lives, the witness of our love for each other, and how we use our time, talents and resources under the Lordship of Christ. I hope that this web site, and its resources which define for you our many activities, will enable us to grow closer and fulfill more completely the purpose our Lord has for us as a congregation.

Wayne Alloway
Senior Pastor

....................................................................................................................

When Christ-followers are seeking a new church home, they don’t count heads, they count hearts.

It’s our intention that seekers find at the heart of St. Mark’s a place committed to providing tools and tasks and teachings that will lead them to greater fellowship in Christ. We intend for everyone to find a place that nourishes his or her spiritual heart, a place for growth, a place for life-change, and a Christ-centered worship home for themselves and their families...for yourself and your family.

....................................................................................................................

...with God, all things are possible.

Matthew 19:26

 
Iowa Recovery Mission Trip a Success PDF Print E-mail

Imagine being sent to high ground when flood waters threaten your home, a place that everyone thought was well out of harm's way. Then imagine returning to it after two feet, maybe four feet or even ten feet of water have invaded and then receded. Nothing that was flooded by the rising waters will ever be the same. But with the help of our St. Mark's Iowa Recovery Team, some folks are finding their homes restored to a condition even better than pre-flood!

All of St. Mark's extends a "well done, thou good and faithful servant" to this small but mighty team who did so much to relieve the recovery pains of Cedar Rapids flood victims:

From left to right beginning with the front row, Ron Dahlke, Peggy Collins (Team Captain), Ron Hoffart; back row left to right, Gale Johnson, Lee Sauter, Harry Windle, Steve Bjorkman, Ralph Hansen and Bud Gillis.

Prayer Note...

If you’ve had a crushing disappointment that prayer did not seem to fix, and if you’re an honest Christ-follower, you have asked yourself questions such as:  Apparently prayer just doesn’t work, so why waste your breath? Or, If God doesn’t care or if he lacks the power to change things, then why pray?

I plead with you, do not lose heart.  Keep on praying because the Father does listen.  He hears every prayer we pray, and he cares deeply about everything that affects us. -Bill Hybels Too Busy Not to Pray

Today's Scripture:

Now to him who by the power at work within us is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen. - Ephesians 3:20-21
