St. Mark's celebrates 150th anniversary

Sun, 04/28/2024 - 5:00am

When the members of St. Mark’s Episcopal Church gather for worship on Sunday, May 5, they’ll not only be observing St. Mark’s Day— an event they postponed from April 25—but they’ll also be celebrating their 150th year in San Marcos. They will mark the occasion with a single service at 10 that morning, followed by a reception where members and guests can view a commemorative slide show and enjoy exhibits depicting the church’s history in the community. Children, too, will have an opportunity to celebrate with a special 150th Anniversary birthday cake along with crafts and activities exploring the number and theme of 150. Just how big is 150 anyway? They’ll get to answer that question.
