Supporting Lee Britain Elementary Students

St. Mark’s will be collecting new underwear and socks for distribution at Lee Britain Elementary School, where our own Deb Swartz is better known as “Nurse Debbie.” All sizes are needed – from toddler up to adult, and all will be much appreciated. Lee Britain serves a large number of low income families, and these items are always in need. In addition to socks and underwear, school supplies would be appreciated as well. School begins on 8/27/2012, and we would like to get Debbie well-stocked for the new year! Please leave donations in the BodyBuilding bin from August 19 through Sunday, September 9th. If you have any questions, please contact Deb Swartz.

Half-Off in the Silver Lion Gift Shop!

Silver Lion Summer Sale – inventory reduction! All inventory (except Bibles and Prayer books) will be 50% off through the end of August! This includes all remaining James Avery, Christmas, Easter and other holiday items. All profits go to our outreach projects.
