SEASONAL CELEBRATIONS & ACTIVITIES

They are like trees planted by streams of water,

which yield their fruit in its season, and their leaves do not wither.
In all that they do, they prosper.

Psalm 1:3

Annual Traditions

Oktoberfest
Sunday, Sept. 29th
4:30 pm to 6:00 pm

"Fall" into good spirits and great company at Oktoberfest offered by the Parish of St. Mark & St. Paul! This feast includes German brats, regular or veggie hot dogs served on pretzel buns, potato salad, sauerkraut, with apple cider, tea, beer, and water to wash it all down. There is no charge; donations are welcome. Bring your kids and friends for fun with music, games, and pumpking/gourd decorating for all ages!

Vacation Bible School

In early summer, the parish holds an intergenerational learning series called VB-Us. Our take on Vacation Bible School, VB-Us brings the community together for a good meal, singing, and chatauqua-style learning centered around lectures, crafts, skits, and stories.
