In worship we come together to joyfully acknowledge the presence of the
Living God in our lives and in our world. Through preaching, sacraments, and
music we proclaim the Good News of God's liberating justice and transforming
love made visible to us in the person and work of Jesus Christ. The following
services of worship are offered at St. Mark's on Sunday morning:
Fall/Spring Worship
Service for the Eighth Day - This is an alternative service that
features a smaller setting for worshipers who desire a participatory style of
fellowship and worship. It meets in the chapel connected to the main
sanctuary.
Traditional Service - This service takes place in the main
sanctuary, and it features teaching from the pulpit, music from our Celtic
Choir and organist and a traditional model of worship.
Lay Liturgists -- Leading worship is one of the ways in which
members of the congregation may participate in worship. Orientation and
training sessions are required and are offered periodically.
Ushers -- A valuable but often overlooked worship leader. If you
are interested in participating in worship as an usher, please call the
church office at 325-1001.
Music – St. Mark’s Schantz organ is one of the finest pipe
organs in Tucson.
Celtic Choir: One of the ways St. Mark's includes music in its
communal worship is through the Celtic Choir. To be a member of the choir a
person does not have to be a trained musician or even an accomplished music
reader. A desire to bring the best that is in you to the worship of God and a
willingness to attend rehearsals and services as as regularly as possible
count for as much or more than inherent or cultivated musical ability. The
choir rehearses at 9:00 AM Sunday morning, except during the summer.
