Plant Sale & Pick Up

Saturday, May 4: 9 to 11am
Sunday, May 5: 11:30am – 12:30pm
We have a great selection of plants: annuals, hanging baskets, veggies and herbs.  It’s a win, win!  High quality plants with great prices, beautify your home from now until early fall and you’ll be making a difference by supporting our Appalachian Service Project.  Ready for Mother’s Day, these plants make wonderful gifts!  All plants are from Ace Greenhouses in Flemington.  Many thanks to those of you who have already pre-ordered.
This fundraiser will help youth and adult volunteers from St. Mark’s (Basking Ridge) and St. Martin’s (Bridgewater), repair and restore homes in Appalachia this summer, making them warmer, safer and drier.

Spring Rummage Sale 

We would like to thank the St. Mark’s community for another successful Rummage Sale. It was our best Rummage Sale ever, as we netted over $13,000. We appreciated everyone’s involvement in achieving such a great result. During the week we had lots of fun and shared wonderful fellowship. So congratulations everyone on a job well done! Thank you again for another successful fundraiser for St. Mark’s.

Please save your coffee grinds and ground up egg shells and drop them in the kitchen for use in our compost. 
Great source of nutrients and great kid’s project!

Sunday School

As a supplement to our Sunday School Digin program during Lent we are using a series of 5 lessons called "Walk in his way" which are based on the parable stories on the works of Jesus.  In addition we are using a  guide to stimulate a discussion each week about what it means to "walk in his way".  Take a look....  You may see some of this sheets making their way home with your children by clicking here.

Art Studio

Come and join us for painting on a Tuesday, 12pm to 3pm in the large Sunday school classroom.  We work on our own projects and help each other out.  It’s fun, relaxing, and we’re a friendly group.
Any questions, contact Jenny Phillips 908-451-9638, jrpw26@gmail.com

The sixth annual Freedom House 5K Run & 1 Mile Fun Walk

Saturday, May 11, 2019, at Duke Island Park, Bridgewater, NJ.  Duke Island Park is a certified 5K course with a flat running path along the Raritan River; the one-mile fun walk will share part of the 5K course making for a great leisurely and scenic walk. This event is dog friendly as long as our furry companions are on a leash. With exhibitors, music and prizes it will be a great morning to come out to support a worthy cause and help reduce the stigma associated with the disease of addiction.
With the rising heroin epidemic, this event gives us a chance to promote health and wellness in the community while helping raise awareness and funds to help with Freedom House’s mission of reuniting families torn apart by alcohol and drug addiction.
If you miss the on-line registration option, – no worries – we will be accepting day of registrations beginning at 8:00 AM. Please note that registering the day of will be slightly higher than if you pre-register.   We look forward to seeing everyone there!

Book Presentation at St. Bernard's Church - April 28th

Local historian and author Meryl Carmel will be coming to St. Bernard's Church in Bernardsville on Sunday April 28 at 3pm to share her research into the life of Kate Macy Ladd, including her healthcare advocacy and life at Natirar by giving a presentation of her book: Finding Kate: The Unlikely Journey of 20th Century Healthcare Advocate Kate Macy Ladd.   Kate and her husband Walter Ladd who were the original owners of the Natirar estate also donated many of the stained glass windows at St. Bernard's Church so it is fitting that the presentation takes place here.
The presentation will be an hour long and a reception and book signing will follow.
