St. Mark's will have its last service on 30 July 2023

While it's a sad time we also celebrate the time that God has granted us 116 years of service.

The baptismal font, the altar, the pulpit, the communion rail, this whole worship space, enabled us to thankfully remember the worship and sacraments in this place and to bring to mind the ministers and lay leaders who have led worship.

For this worship space, loving God
We give You thanks.

We remember the congregations who have gathered here, Sunday after Sunday through all these years and kept the doors open.

For these worshippers, loving God
We give You thanks.

We will gather with so many good and treasured memories and with a sense of grief saying farewell to this hallowed place.

For the life of this faith community which will continue on in new pastures, loving God,
We give You thanks.

God remains with us
Though we let go of our cherished place
God remains with us
Though we sing new songs and worship in new ways
God be with us
Though we find new friends in new congregations.

The peace of the Lord remains with us now and forever more.

A Prayer for Hope
That first Christmas, You gave us the gift of hope wrapped in swaddling clothes and laid in a manger. Thank you, Father, for Your immeasurable gift.

Today, by the Grace of God, we celebrate 116 years of service in the Maraisburg community.

May God continue to work in mysterious ways and use His mighty works to draw souls to the kingdom of God. May He always uplift our leaders in grace, wisdom and knowledge.

In loving memory of Noreen Davids
Rest in peace and rise in glory

God looked around His garden
And He found an empty place
He looked down upon the earth
And saw your tired face
He put His arms around you
And lifted you to rest
God's garden must be beautiful
He always takes the best

It broke our hearts to lose you
But you didn't go alone
For part of us went with you
The day God called you home

Come Holy Spirit
Fall on us
Burn like a fire
Living flame of love
