Adult Formation & Connection
Parishioners getting ready for the 4th of July Parade in Durango
St. Mark’s Book Study Group
1st & 3rd Wednesdays, 1:30-2:30 pm (and 5th, if there is one). The Book Study meets downstairs conference room/library at the church. Contact Ministry Leader to find out what book we are currently reading.
Confirmation Classes
In Episcopal tradition, if a person (15 or older) wishes to explore their faith more deeply and - at the end of this process - feels called to make a public affirmation of their faith, they may receive a laying on of hands by the bishop. It is a process of confirmation not conformation.
Contemplative Prayer Group
2nd & 4th Wednesdays following the noon service; approximately 1:00 pm. The Contemplative Prayer Group meets after the Noon Service at 1:00 on the 2nd & 4th Wednesdays in the St. Mark's sanctuary. The group enjoys a short reading from various spiritual literature, then spends about 20 to 30 minutes seated together in silent meditation.
Daughters of the King
This women-only ministry provides ongoing intercessory prayer support for St. Mark's and meets monthly to study and pray together. Members also send out a series of grief booklets to console parishioners after a loss.
