Adults Night Out (ADO). Member of the church meet for a pot-lunch dinner every month in a different member's home. Angel Tree, A Ministry of Prison Fellowship. This program matches the children of inmates with churches that can provide mentorship. During the Christmas season, tags with children's gift wishes are placed on a tree. Volunteers select tags, and purchase and wrap one clothing gift and one fun gift ($20-25 ea.) The gifts are given in the name of the imprisoned parent and Jesus Christ. Anglican Shoppe. The Anglican
Shoppe has grown to a full small shop. Christ's Kitchen. Christ's kitchen is a "soup" kitchen that was founded in the early 1980's as a way to feed the needy of St. Albans. Anyone is welcome, no questions asked. We are open Monday through Thursday and Saturday. A simple breakfast is available at 8:30 AM and a hot lunch is served at 11:00 AM. Volunteers who prepare the meals come from many area churches. Anyone who would like to be a part of this ministry should contact the church at (304) 722-4284. Episcopal Church Woman (ECW). ECW is a group made up of all women that attend St. Mark's Church. Our goal is to be supportive of the activities of the church. We meet once a month for a covered dish dinner and business meeting. We encourage all women of the church to attend. We hold fund raisers throughout the year such as rummage sales, after-church luncheons, candy sales, and a bazaar, just to name a few. We are currently trying to regroup and restructure this organization and welcome any input to this end. If you are interested in further information you may contact Gail Byrd, President, by E-mail or call the church office at (304) 722-4284. Episcopal Youth Fellowship (EYF).
