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.

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.

Urban Immersion
August 4-10, 2019
Youth entering Grades 7-9
* Registration for this trip is limited to 20 youth.
Cost $500
This year’s Urban Immersion trip will be hosted by Sierra Service Project – San Diego. We will be staying and serving in Imperial Beach. Youth will focus on poverty, immigration, and the environment. There will be the opportunity to ask questions and broaden our world view.
SSP does half of their work with homeowners, and half with community-based organizations. The type of work includes painting, rebuilding fences, and other general home repairs. No construction experience is needed, and you’ll be amazed at all the work our teams complete! Since we will be the final program week, we anticipate having the opportunity to finish many of the projects that are started over the summer.
Registration for this trip is limited to 20 youth. Once the trip is full, we will begin a fundraising effort. It is our hope, that youth will be able to raise the majority of the money needed for their trip.
