(Child care is available for children for the adult volunteers plus, there will be no registration fee for older children in the family who participate in the week).

Musical Opportunities
Children's Choir for the preschoolers meets every Sunday for 15 minutes during the Sunday School hour, unless rehearsing for specific performances. For children in kindergarten through 5th grade, Children's Choir meets at 9:00 a.m. in the Fellowship Hall (prior to Sunday School).

Sunday School Classes always need snack items. Please check with individual teachers for their needs.
Sunday School volunteers in the classrooms are always needed and appreciated. Check with our Sunday School Superintendent
Adults with musical talent, we sure need you!

Adults to be an "extra pair of hands" during the holidays are needed as well.

Weekday Programs for Children
St. Mark's Early Childhood Center offers programs for working parents as well as a two, three and five- day morning preschool program. For further information, phone 797-2925.

Christian Education Sunday
This Sunday will highlight the educational opportunities provided by St. Mark's. The teaching staff will be consecrated into service and Bibles will be presented to the third grade students.

Christmas Program
The entire Sunday morning Sunday School will be invited to participate in this special Christmas presentation ( 3 years through 6th grade). Notification of the date and time will be sent home in advance.

Blessing of the Children
A meaningful service for children and parents. A time on Christmas Eve to begin the celebration of the Savior's birth. At this early evening service, each family will receive the traditional "St. Mark's ornament" for their tree as well as prayers for the children and adults.

Teacher Appreciation/Farewell Sunday
This is a time in May for the congregation to say "thank you" and "farewell" to the volunteer teaching staff for their nine months of dedication and caring.

Elementary Summer Camps
To encourage the children of St. Mark's to participate in the Desert Southwest Conference camping program, the church will share one half of the camper's program fees. This ministry will help students focus on their relationship with God and to make connections with peers and counselors that will help them to know they are valued and loved.

Church Family Camp
Church Camp is held in the fall. This weekend camp for members and friends of St. Mark's is a great time to relax and enjoy the Chiricahua Mountains together. Hikes, crafts, games, campfires and fellowship make this an event for all ages.
