Our Grief Share Ministry has benefited many
people who have lost a loved one by death.
When death comes, be it a spouse, a child,
brother or sister, parent, grandparent, close
relative or friend, it is good to know St. Mark's
offers this ministry. We are now in our third
cycle (each cycle being 13 weeks). Each session
has three components: a professionally made
video, a workbook, and group discussion. Grief
Share meets every Monday morning, 10:30 am
to noon, in Room 12. No need to sign up! Just
come! Questions? Check with Quilla Cartee,
Pam Court, or Pastor Ernest.
GriefShare Are you a single parent? Are there times when you
would benefit from knowing how others handle
uneasy parental situations? Perhaps you would ap-
preciate some professional guidelines in parenting.
If so, The Church Initiative, Inc., has developed an
excellent nationally recognized 13 week single-
parent ministry course for local churches. Each ses-
sion consists of a video, workbook, and group dis-
cussion. Meredith, our Director of Children's Minis-
tries, and Pastor Ernest are teaming up to offer
"Single & Parenting" during the 10:30 am Sunday
School hour, in Room 12, beginning September 8th.
While we meet, the children will be in their regular
Sunday School class or Nursery. Interested? Please
let Meredith or Ernest know, or indicate "Single &
Parenting" on the Sunday Information Form and
place in the offering plate.

Many have taken advantage of Disciple 1,
2, 3, and 4. Now, "Second Generation Disciple" has
sprung up and there are those who want to dig into
that bible study. The theme of the course is "Jesus
In the Gospels," with the goal of getting to know
more about Jesus. The sessions will be 2 1/2 hours
long and require daily bible study in preparation for
the group meetings on Mondays, 6:30 to 9:00 pm in
individual homes or Tuesday mornings at church,
Room 12, 9:30 to 12 noon. A pre-request is Disciple
1 or a good understanding of the bible. If you have
questions, see or call Pastor Ernest at 777-0645. The
cost for the study manual and supplemental mate-
rials is $49.00.
The Monday evening class will begin Sep-
tember 9th. The Tuesday morning class will begin
September 10. Each class is limited to 10 people.
