Easter 2012
Alleluia! Christ is risen. The Lord is risen indeed.
Alleluia!
1
Easter is God’s victory over the evil and fear that
confront our personal lives and the life of this world.
Nothing can scare us again, not even death. The
resurrection of Jesus Christ is God’s lasting word of
hope. “Fear not! I am with you always,” God says
from the empty tomb. “Nothing can ever separate
you from my love.” And that promise is what gives
us courage to live fully now.
St. Mark’s is a community filled with this Easter
faith. Our church and school community is bustling
with life and bursting with hope. WE WILL! Build in
Faith continues to flourish, and its benefits are
obvious.
The new youth center and gymnasium are filled
day and night, and our athletic programs are thriving
while our youth group participants are growing
closer to God and to one another. Ministries like the
St. Mark’s Neighborhood Autistic Athletic Program
(SNAAP) and Mothers of Preschool Children
(MOPS) are blossoming from a facility that enables
us to reach others with the hands and heart of the
risen Christ.
The Peace Chapel at St. Mark’s and the new
administration building are set to open this summer.
Not only is the campus being made safe and
secure, we are also providing a more welcoming
entry for all who visit. The Peace Chapel will remain
open 24/7 as a place of prayer for all people seeking
peace and quiet. And, the newly renovated and
enlarged memorial garden will offer visitors another
quiet sanctuary.
Our eyes are now turning to the third phase of
our building program: St. Mark’s Hall. This new
dining hall for school lunches, church dinners and
socials will include a fully equipped kitchen; stage
and auditorium space; multi-function areas for
church and school meetings; classrooms for art,
band, chorus, and computers; a new Parents’
Association room; and gathering spaces like a
coffee shop and
bookstore.

Thanks to the generosity of so many we have
almost $4 million in cash and pledges in hand. In
order to move ahead with the construction of St.
Mark’s Hall will need to raise $3 million in cash or at
least $4 million in pledges in the next six months.
And when we reach that milestone, our hopes and
dreams will come true!
Please . . . apply your Easter faith and join me in
saying, “WE WILL! Build in Faith!” I need each of
you to consider how you can help us meet our
goals. While others might worry that our dreams are
too big, I give endless thanks for the power of God
to work within this community of St. Mark’s. I have
no doubts that we will pull together and raise the
additional funds we need for Phase III.
Please, prayerfully consider joining me and
hundreds of others who have made a commitment
to the build a new St. Mark’s and to ensure that we
are a beacon of faith, hope, and light for many years
to come.
Call the campaign office anytime at 561-622-
1504, ext. 232, or email [email protected]
and tell us how you will help us reach our goal.
Remember, with God all things are possible . . .
even new life after death. Won’t you join us in
reaching out in faith by making a gift today?
