The Upper Arlington Pride Festival will be Sunday, June 9 from 1 to 5 p.m. at Sunny 95 Park and the Amelita Mirolo Barn on Windham Road near Greensview Elementary School.

Saint Mark’s is a sponsor of UA Pride and will have a table at the event.

Please plan on coming to the Pride Festival. If you want to rep Saint Mark’s, we have a t-shirt that you can order from our Café Press site. 

If you would like to volunteer to help with Pride, Rainbow UA is looking for help. You can sign up here.

Columbus Pride Week kicks off with the Pride parade on Saturday, June 15.

We will be joining with the Presbyterians again this year. If you want to march, let Karl Stevens know by emailing rector@ststephens-columbus.org. He will add you to a list that he will give to Trip Porch, who is organizing the Presbyterian contingent. Karl will email you with Trip's contact information prior to the march. We have an Episcopal banner and swag to hand out.

Episcopal Pride Mass will be Thursday, June 20 at 7 p.m. at Trinity on Capital Square, 125 E. Broad St., across from the Statehouse.

Is held on the sidewalk in front of Saint Mark’s on Wednesdays from 3:30 to 6:30 p.m.

Dorset Road is closed on Wednesday afternoons and any cars parked there will need to be moved. Please plan on parking in the Tremont Center lot if you will be at church after noon on Wednesdays.

Saint Mark’s will be opening the building and having a hospitality table during the market, sign up if you want to help welcome people to Saint Mark's.

The Coffee Hour after the 10:30 a.m. service is an important part of the Saint Mark’s community.

The Coffee Hour is provided by teams of people who serve once a month to make that event happen. 

The Coffee Hour hosts, make the coffee and the lemonade & iced tea, set up the tables before the service and clean up. They sometimes bring fruit or cheese and crackers as well.

The hosts are supported by bakers who either make or bring sweet treats for the table. Either making or bringing is fine (or a combination of the two).

We are looking for a few bakers to join our Coffee Hour teams. That will involve bringing some treats on your assigned week.

We are also looking for some Substitute Coffee Hour hosts, who would be willing to step in when the regular team isn’t able to be here.

If you are interested in either role, or want to know more, please get in touch with Cindy Anderson cindy.anderson@snet.net
