Epiphany Brunch at Lutheran Church of the Good Shepherd.  St. Mark women are invited to attend the Epiphany Brunch on Saturday, January 17th at 10:00 am at Lutheran Church of the Good Shepherd.  This will be a chance for all to meet Good Shepherd’s new pastor, Pastor Amy Hessel. The speaker for the brunch is a Young Adults in Global Mission volunteer who has just returned to Tumwater from Hungary.

St. Mark Quilters
St. Mark’s quilters will meet again starting January 7 at 10:00am in Classroom #8.  All sewing and quilting skill levels are invited!

Craft Night

Craft Night began a few years ago when a couple of us thought it would be fun to gather for an evening of working on handwork projects together – our own individual handwork – just doing it at the same time. It has blossomed into a wonderful evening of a nice dinner followed by sharing projects, learning a new trick here and there, making prayers shawls and Head Start hats, and lots of laughter.

We begin 2015 with a gathering on Monday, January 26 at 6:00pm in the parish hall and invite you to join us. It’s always a nice dinner, pleasant company, and a chance to work on a project as well.
