2018-2019 CONCERT SERIES: All About Music San Diego

St. Mark's United Methodist Church will begin its 2018-2019 Concert Series on Sunday, October 21, 2018 at 4:30 p.m. with a concert by the All About Music San Diego Orchestra.  Following the concert, a reception will be held in the Social Hall to meet and greet members of the orchestra and their director. 

AAMSD is conducted by Mary Gerard and gives six concerts each season in San Diego. This ensemble provides a solid foundation for young instrumentalists hoping to enter leading conservatories. The goal of AAMSD is to inspire a passion for making music on the highest level with all genres of music.

Missionary Conferences: A Special Invitation

Did you know that our denomination has three missionary conferences within the United States?  The United Methodist Women invites all members of the St. Mark's family to join them for a presentation after worship on Sunday, October 21, about those three missionary conferences: Alaska, Oklahoma Indian, and Redbird.  Shirley Ferrill will tell us why they are set apart and what they do.  The presentation will be followed by a potluck.
