The Marksmen

Meeting Info:

Meetings are the 1st & 3rd Wednesdays of the month for breakfast at 7:30 am at Coco's, 7250 N. Oracle Road.. Breakfast is served from the menu and the meetings are over by 9:00 am.

Fred Duell presents a plaque of recognition and appreciation to Ross Huckins, for his twelve dedicated years of service as president of the Marksmen.

General Info:

The Marksmen is an informal organization of men dedicated to the mission of the Christian Church in general and of St. Mark's United Methodist Church in particular. Programs at the meetings are many and varied. They include demonstrations of hobbies, biographical sketches, and discussions over the role of our church in Tucson and the world at large. Speakers include persons from the medical and communication professions, law enforcement, education and the religious community. There are no dues. The treasury is maintained by donations above the cost of the breakfast. These donations pay for the ongoing projects of the organization -- the Builder's Fund and minor projects in our own and other churches. The money from our major fundraising projects is always earmarked in advance for a particular purpose, which may be outside the St. Mark's Community. In the past we have donated money to a community recreation center at Hope UMC, a TMM daycare center, Youth at Risk, etc.

Mission Statement:

We affirm the principles for living that Jesus Christ exemplified in his life and teachings. We believe that we can grow in our faith as Christians by making a difference in our church and in our community. We believe that laypersons must bear the responsibility for such tasks.

Our Purpose:

To foster awareness of issues, problems and concerns relating to the role of all laypersons in our church, whether or not they are in positions of leadership or responsibility.
To act as an outlet for Christian service for those desiring to "take that extra step" in their journeys through life.
To bring the problems in our local community to the attention of the whole church and to propose possible solutions to those problems.
To commit to the expansion of equity among all individuals within the church, the community, and the world.
To support one another by sharing our joys and our sorrows.
To support the youth of St. Mark's in their service projects.
