The members of St. Mark's are dedicated to helping others without regard to location .  We were especially pleased to assist one of our former members serving in Iraq with a project to help provide for the local kids in their service area.

The Soldiers of the 1-141st Field Artillery Battalion (Task Force Thurnder) serving in Operation Iraqi Freedom III, Baghdad Iraq undertook a project to help the children in the area.  They asked for donations of clothing, sporting equipments and toys.  The members of St. Mark's raised $5,000 and were able to send a truckload of items to the soldiers for distribution.  Each item was packed with love from the entire congregation.
