I was glad when they said to me, "Let us go to the house of the LORD."

Psalm 122:1
"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth."

Genesis 1:1

Soup Kitchen:

St. Mark’s expanded its feeding ministry on September 4, 2008, when our soup kitchen officially began serving the homeless and the working poor of south central Arlington. Under the tireless direction of Peggy Porter, two teams of dedicated and enthusiastic St. Mark’s parishioners and friends take turns serving up a hot, nutritious lunch each Thursday from 11:30 to 12:30 in the parish hall. Leftovers are gratefully received by a local night shelter. According to “Maddie,” who saw our flier at a local John Peter Smith clinic, “It’s wonderful that you’re doing this for our neighborhood. I didn’t expect the soup to be homemade!”

The Soup Kitchen at St. Mark’s Church is staffed by volunteers and funded entirely by tax-deductible donations. Contributions to this ministry make excellent Christmas gifts for teachers and those on your shopping list who “have everything,” as well as memorials in lieu of funeral flowers. Just include a note with your check telling us the occasion and the name and address of the person(s) to be notified. We’ll send out an acknowledgment and a copy to you for tax reporting purposes.

Each week the soup kitchen staff prays that we will see Christ in those we serve, and that they will see Him in us. Our prayers are answered every Thursday as we share His love with our neighbors and each other.
