Experience a new culture while helping to transform a community! This summer’s diocesan youth mission trip will be with the Diocese of Western Mexico. During the nine days that we are in Mexico we will have the opportunity to complete several construction projects aiding the Pame, an indigenous people living in the mountains outside of San Luis Potosi. We will also run a children’s program in Guadalajara with the youth of the diocese of Western Mexico. This will be a deeply cultural and transforming trip. We are being hosted by Bishop Gomez Osnaya and he will travel with us the entire time. Make no mistake though, this is a service trip. Our goal will be to come home sweaty, dirty, and tired, with hearts full of love for the work we have done and the people we have served.

Come learn how our churches can comply with the new California state requirements to provide sexual harassment prevention training to all employees before January 1, 2020. These courses were developed by Praesidum who developed and manages our Safeguarding God’s People program. There are two versions: one for Preventing Sexual Harassment for Employees in California and one for Sexual Harassment Training for Supervisory Employees in California. Each course is one hour in length. The two courses are designed to work together, and supervisors are expected to take both in order to meet the 2 hour requirement. They cover all elements required by the new law.
We will also roll out our new preschool employee handbook template designed to be consistent with diocesan compensation and benefits policies.
Remaining time will be spent on going deeper into hiring, termination, safety, training and performance management practices.

St. Mark’s is so blessed to be able to have a 2019 Back 2 School Bash. We know we would not have made it to our 8th Annual without your generous support throughout the years. Be it financial, backpacks, volunteers to put the supplies together or volunteers to work the day of the event, we cannot thank you enough.
At this annual event, underserved children receive brand new backpacks stuffed with new school supplies, new shoes, new socks and the message that they are loved and supported in their educational endeavor. Kids also receive haircuts (we need hair dressers!). Families can take family portraits with the help of volunteer photographers. Crafts, games and activities for kids will take place. Snacks for all.
We still need volunteers!
If you can work a shift contact Debbie Kistler ASAP.
The shifts are:

All day – 8:30 a.mm to 1:00 p.m.
Shift 1 – 8:15 a.m. to 11:15 a.m.
Shift 2 – 11:00 a.m. to 2 :00 p.m.

Any help you can provide will be welcome and appreciated but Shift 2 help is most needed. Remember, Christ Church has donated $1,000 to help fund this project, let’s provide some hands on help as well.
