Love Lets It Go 03-07-10

Friendship Sunday Coming to St. Mark on Valentine’s Day

Do you know who your friends are? 

Wasn’t it Bert Bacharach that first put this truth to music?

“What the world needs now is love sweet love,
that’s the only thing that there’s just too little of.

What the world needs now is love, sweet love,

No not just for some, but for everyone.” 
    

On Valentines Day, Sunday February 14 there will be a celebration of  love at St. Mark.

 

          This is a wonderful  opportunity for each of us to communicate the ultimate gift of love to your unchurched or unbelieving friends and  family. The gift of God’s love. Please think and pray about who God might be putting on your heart to  invite for this great outreach opportunity.

Friendship Sunday will kick off a six mid-week Lenten series on the topic of  “Love, Sweet Love.”

Here’s the schedule.(All evening services begin at 7 PM) 

                                  Ash Wed. Feb17   What Matters Most  (10 AM & 7 PM)
