Worship at St. Marks Perry
Sunday worship is at the center of our life together at St.
Mark’s. Each week we gather to read the Bible, sing, hear a sermon, pray and
share in Holy Communion. And then enjoy each other’s company over coffee and
snacks after the service.
Our worship brings together the ancient and the new. Each Sunday we experience the ancient liturgy
that has changed little since the time of the early Christians, study the
scripture and hear it speak to you personally in your life of the 21st Century.
We apply timeless biblical wisdom to modern life, in order
to cultivate a life of faith and hope, practice hospitality and inclusive
community, and inspire all to grow as agents of Christ-like love, generosity,
and justice in the world around us.
We invite you to come and see what this community of faith
is all about. You may find just the kind of welcome, love, community, and sense
of purpose you’ve been looking for.
As an Episcopal Church, our worship style is liturgical,
which means everyone has an opportunity to participate in the service. There
are some prayers said by the priest, some by the congregation, and some
altogether. The flow of the service follows the Book of Common Prayer, which
contains prayers written throughout the centuries. We blend these written
prayers with our own prayers, drawing on the wisdom of the past and the
continual inspiration of the Holy Spirit today.
