ST. MARK'S EPISCOPAL CHURCH
ATLANTA, MICHIGAN
Worship with us
Our weekly worship is held every Sunday at 9:00 am. Our Sunday morning service consists of singing hymns, reading scripture, listening to a sermon, saying prayers and sharing the Eucharist, also known as Holy Communion or the Lord’s Supper. Our service lasts approximately one hour.
Holy Communion
It goes by several names: Holy Communion, the Eucharist (which literally means "thanksgiving"), mass. But whatever it’s called, this is the family meal for Christians and a foretaste of the heavenly banquet. As such, all persons who have been baptized, and are therefore part of the extended family that is the Church, are welcome to receive the bread and wine, and be in communion with God and each other.
Holy Baptism
In the waters of baptism we are reminded that we belong to God and nothing can separate us from the love of God. We also find ourselves part of an extended family, one with Christians throughout the ages and across the world, what we call the “one, holy, catholic [meaning 'universal'], and apostolic Church.”
Special Services
We hold special services throughout the Liturgal year, including, but not limited to, Ash Wednesday, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, the Day of Ascension and the Blessing of the Animals in honor of the Feast of St. Francis. You will find our special services listed on our home page.
