Building Update
 
The relocation of the church offices is complete. The storage facility is filled. This move was a huge undertaking in a short amount of time.  The people of St. Mark's stepped up to the plate and things got done quickly. Too many people were involved in the undertaking to list names but our thanks go out to each and everyone of you.
 
We have now entered the transition phase of our building project. People are working hard to continue the Worship Services and Sunday school classes in this new atmosphere. Our small group gatherings and committee meetings will be located as space allows; some will meet in the new office space at 720 South Rogers Road Suite C200, some at the Olathe Christian School on Wednesday nights as space allows, and others in members homes. Watch the Sunday bulletins for location, dates and times of your group. If you have concerns you can contact Nancy at the church office, 913-764-4496.
 
The finance committee continues to work out the final details of the financing for the new building. An announcement will be forth coming as soon as the information is finalized.
