   This Week at St Mark's  

 
The Church Council and Building Committee continue to work with the Realtor on the sale of the current church building and property.  Hopefully we will know if the buyer gets approval for his financing by the end of this month with a move date of the middle of July.  When the news is forth coming we will send an e-mail out plus it will be on the church's web page.  Continue to ask God's guidance in this undertaking.
 

The results of the Special Congregational meeting called by the Church Council to consider and vote on the Sales Contract between St. Mark's Lutheran Church Inc. and Olathe Christian School was approved by a 87% vote for the proposal, 9% no vote and 4% abstained.

An Al-Anon group meeting at St. Mark's on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 8:00 p.m. Al-Anon family groups are an anonymous fellowship of families and friends of alcoholics who share their experience, strength and hope in order to solve their common problems. We believe alcoholism is a family illness and the changed attitudes can aid recovery.Al-Anon has but one purpose: to help families of alcoholics.
