St. Mark's Youth
The youth programs at Saint Mark’s have two major components, the 7th and 8th grade Confirmation preparatory classes which meet every Wednesday night, and the EYC youth group for high school confirmands, which meets every Sunday evening. These two components are linked in a covenant of purpose. Here at St. Mark’s, our young parishioners, like all of our parishioners, are engaged in practicing Christianity.
Covenant of Purpose
The first and great commandment is this: you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. And the second is like unto it: you shall love your neighbor as yourself.
The Truth of Christianity is not accessible to us without practice. The purpose of the Saint Mark’s EYC is to engage in the practice of Christianity. We intend to seek this truth through a fellowship of love, through reflection on Spirit and Truth, and through action in service to the community and world of our neighbors.
