Adult Choir
Through our anthems, hymns, praise choruses, psalms, and other congregational music, we offer our gift of music to God. We sing music that can be contemporary Christian music, contemporary sacred classical, Gospel style of singing, or perhaps traditionally hymn based. Our musical accompaniment also is varied and includes the piano, the organ, and occasionally other church instrumentalists. New voices are always welcome to this ensemble of adults and high school youth.
Barb Lipian leads rehearsals each Thursdays at St. Mark in room 13 from 6:00-7:00pm.

About the Green Thumbs
We are a small division of our Trustees that help to take care of the grounds here at St. Mark. If interested in mowing contact Bob Mitchell. If interested in helping care for the flower beds contact Cathy Curry. Currently we several small garden sections that need to be cared for. Each section is small therefore some volunteers may choose to care for two sections. This is a great opportunity to involve children to teach them about God's stewardship or to use it as a community or church project. Weeding, dead heading, and watering are the main responsibilities. Volunteers can work any day and any time that fits their schedule.
Grief Share is a special 13-week seminar and support group designed to help you rebuild your life after the death of a loved one. We know it hurts, and we want to help.

Our building is thriving daily with 3 full time tenants, each serving the community of Brunswick in a unique way. Brunswick Prep Academy is a daycare/preschool owned and operated by a resident of Brunswick. Amazing Wonders Head Start is a federal preschool program serving those in need in Brunswick. Finally, an area clothing ministry, Woven with Promise utilizes our space to bless our community. Our Trustees work very hard to keep our building and grounds in great shape for these tenants.
