St Mark’s Anglican Church

We have been building our forest adventure camp as we learn how to be Rock Solid Followers of Jesus. Just as Jesus was always with the apostle Paul, He is with us guiding and helping us on our way.

The next two months are filled with special speakers and events as we prepare to celebrate the birth of Jesus. There are also opportunities for giving to others in the world (shoe boxes) and in our community (white gifts and Christmas hamper).
