WELCOME!

St. Mark's is committed to serving our urban neighborhood and the wider world and welcomes all people to the grace and mercy of God.

NOTICE: COVID-19, WORSHIP SERVICES, AND EVENTS

Our sharing in the Word and joy in God's grace during services at St. Mark's must continue. The services for January 17, 24, and 31, will be live streamed on our Facebook page. Beginning on Sunday, February 7, 2021, we will return to Temple Beth El. The services will continue to be broadcast live, but now on St. Mark's YouTube channel (a link direct to the live stream each Sunday will be available on the Worship page; you can also go St. Mark's channel using the button below).  A small group of people will lead the service from Temple Beth El.  We celebrate this first step toward the day when we all can return to in-person worship on Sundays.   

Our Sunday worship services,  fellowship hour, and other meetings will continue to be online. See the news events below for more information!

​SEASON OF LENT

Lent is a time for spiritual reflection, to think about where our faith has led us during the past year. This year we offer a two opportunities for  reflection during Lent:

"My Faith Talks" Series
  An devotional series where members share personal reflections about their faith journeys.  These will be on Wednesday evenings at 7pm  beginning with Ash Wednesday, February 17.

Lenten Book Discussion Group
On Sunday mornings at 11:30am, Dr. David Myers will lead a discussion of Amy-Jill Levine's book The Misunderstood Jew ​with the people of St. Mark's and Temple Beth El. Click on the link below for more information.
INTERFAITH PANEL:
Sunday, Feb. 28 @ 2-3:30
These are hard times for everyone, but for LGBTQIA+ people—who have often felt religiously condemned and isolated from mainstream society—the quarantine adds an additional layer of difficulty.  Speakers from four traditions will share their experiences of being queer during the Covid-19 pandemic:
Rev. Wakoh Shannon Hickey, PhD
(she/hers; a lesbian and a Buddhist)
​Eliana Shira Rubin
​(she/hers; a transgender woman and Jewish)
Pastor Joe Larson
(he/his; a gay  cisgender man and  a Christian)
Cody Severson
​(he/his; a gay man and an Atheist)

This is a Zoom event moderated by Dr. Jacqueline Bussie and sponsored by the Fargo-Moorhead Interfaith Center, Concordia College’s Forum on Faith and Life, and St. Mark’s Lutheran Church of Fargo, ND. Follow the link below to learn more.
EXPERIENCING GRIEF & LOSS Group
During the past year and perhaps longer, many of us have experienced the loss of a loved one or faced other major life changes. It's not easy to deal with the grief and pain that we feel. 

Beginning Thursday, January 28th and on the fourth Thursday each month and 7 pm, a series of group discussions will be led by Linda Hamann.  We will talk about what we have learned through previous experiences and over time--and how that might help us cope with our grief and enhance our spiritual-ity.  Follow the below link to pre-register:
