We’ve had some trouble with Facebook recently. It seems that they are struggling with bandwidth. YouTube seems to be much more stable.
The Sunday Forum
We are in the 9th week of our study of the Tabernacle and the Temple. The video of the 9th session can be found here. The previous sessions can be found here.
We are going to meet at 9am on Zoom to discuss the topic of the day.
See information on Zoom below.

Sunday School
A separate email will go out soon to all Sunday School families with resources specific for this weekend.
Every Day
There is a service streamed LIVE on Facebook and YouTube every day at 10am. We will be doing this for the duration of this crisis. If you miss these services you can always watch the service later on Facebook or on our website: stmarksbr.org/blog
Prayer Group
We are starting a prayer group that will meet on Zoom twice next week: Monday at 7PM and Wednesday at 7:30AM. This is for anyone and everyone who has concerns on their hearts, or who just wants to join in prayer with a group of other people. The format is very simple, and you can share as much or as little of the prayer requests that are on your hearts. We will be sending out the Meeting ID's in a day or so.

1. Sign up for (the free version of) Zoom by downloading the app on your phone or tablet, or by going to zoom.us on your computer.
2. Enter your name and a few quick details about yourself. It's super easy.
3. Every group or class session that we run on Zoom will have a link that we will send out and a meeting ID. You can either click on the link, or enter the Meeting ID into Zoom.
3. That will take you into the call.

Curbing Hunger has initiated a Food Drive for the Somerset County Food Bank. The need right now is great, and it’s only going to get worse. Click here to contribute.

Soup Delivery
We have a new tenant here at St. Mark's who is using our kitchen to makes soups, Love The Soup. The owner, Bob Hiller will be donating $2 back to St. Mark's on each quart of soup ordered. Thank you, Bob! They are also offering free local home delivery.
This might be an easy way for you to get a home delivered meal while both supporting a local business AND supporting St. Mark's.
