This is the perfect time to start a prayer group.  If you would like to pray for others who are in any kind of need please email us at  psmithjp@aol.com.  When a prayer request is sent to the St. Mark’s Prayer Group, either through the Parish website or emailed to me, it will be forwarded to everyone in the group.  The prayer group members are asked to remember and lift those in need to the Lord during their daily prayers.  If the request is specific – such as healing from an operation, or the repose of the soul of someone who has died, we will pray for that specific intention.  If no specific request is made, we pray for the Lord to provide healing in body, mind and spirit, and to give consolation to the person in need, as well as any family members or care providers. Please join us, and may our dear Lord, hold you and your families close to His heart.
