Drama

Drama:

Saint Mark’s singers, actors and musician prepare dramas and musicals every couple of years. It is our policy to include all ages and anyone who wishes to be involved – both on stage and behind the scenes. Keep watching this space for the next big drama!

Choir

 

The St. Mark's Chancel Choir: helps contribute to the leadership of the worship service with song. The Choir contributes an anthem each Sunday and a full cantata or musical with drama each Easter and Christmas Season to enhance the worship experience.

The Choir is for any adult or youth who loves to sing, to praise God, to feel supported and cared for in a group setting and to have fun in the process.

We invite anyone who meets these criteria to come to Choir practice on Wednesday at 7:30 pm. No auditions necessary!
