Services

St. Mark's is the pretty little church on the corner with the bright red doors and the beautiful windows where everyone

is welcome.

Holy Communion is currently held on the FIRST and THIRD Sundays of the month at 9 AM.

On both Sundays we are happy to be joined in worship with friends from First United Presbyterian Church.

We are fully handicapped accessible.

Please contact us if you need further information.

About our Vicar

Since 1999, the Rev. Karen Lemon has served St. Mark's--first as a deacon and shortly thereafter as priest and vicar. A native of New York state, she has spent many years in the Sunflower State.

Why Visit St. Mark's?

Reassurance

St. Mark's knows that it's a special place to be and a place that offers comfort and peace in both happy and difficult times.

"St. Mark’s is a beautiful little church that makes one feel welcome at the front door. When I step into St. Mark’s, I feel a calmness that I don’t feel any other place. I feel as if God’s presence is truly there and He wants me to be there and to worship Him. We are a loving and vibrant family--and we welcome everyone!"

-- AB, member since 1971

World-famous hospitality

St. Mark's believes that hospitality and fellowship are key parts of being

Christians. That's why, in addition to Sunday worship, like the early Christians, we love getting together and breaking bread with Episcopalians and non-Episcopalians alike.

Sharing meals with friends is a great way to enjoy the Holy Spirit and one another's company.

Community involvement

St. Mark's believes in being active in its own community and beyond. In short, we believe that St. Mark's should be a good neighbor. We are proud supporters of the Lincoln Library (108 Main Street), animal welfare projects, as well as feeding the hungry in Medicine Lodge and elsewhere across the state--and around the globe.

We are the only church in town (and the diocese) with a mascot--Buddy the Episco-pup. He loves greeting visitors and regulars alike.

Prayers

In the morning

This is another day, O Lord. I know not what it will bring forth, but make me ready, Lord, for whatever it may be. If I am to stand up, help me to stand bravely. If I am to sit still, help me to sit quietly. If I am to lie low, help me to do it patiently. And if am to do nothing, let me do it gallantly. Make these words more than words, and give me the Spirit of Jesus. Amen.

For hope

In the morning

Loving God, by your Holy Spirit inspire me, as I fear losing hope. Give me a fresh vision of your love, that I may find again what I fear I have lost. Grant me your powerful deliverance; through the One who makes all things new, Jesus Christ our Redeemer. Amen.

For the unemployed

Heavenly Father, we remember before you those who suffer want and anxiety from lack of work. Guide the people of this land so to use our public and private wealth that all may find suitable and fulfilling employment, and receive just payment for their labor; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

In the evening

For the unemployed

O Lord, support us all the day long, until the shadows lengthen, and the evening comes, and the busy world is hushed, and the fever of life is over, and our work is done. Then in thy mercy, grant us a safe lodging, and a holy rest, and peace at the last. Amen.
