SUMMARY:Prayer Night
DESCRIPTION:They all joined together constantly in prayer… Acts 1:14 \nOne of the ways we live out our vision of being “a church growing in prayer” is at our monthly prayer nights\, where the people of St. Mark gather together for the sole purpose of calling on the name of the Lord. \nEach prayer night is designed to be an energetic and interactive evening of prayer that’s comfortable to you wherever you are on your faith journey. \nPRAYER NIGHT FAQ\nWHAT IS A PRAYER NIGHT?\nPrayer Nights are a time when St. Mark gathers for the sole purpose of prayer. Typically\, after a time of singing and a short teaching\, we then begin an engaging and energetic time of prayer. These prayer times are guided by one of our leaders and you can either pray silently or aloud. \nWHAT IF I’M NOT COMFORTABLE PRAYING WITH OTHERS?\nWhether you pray silently or aloud\, each Prayer Night is designed for you to be able to participate regardless of your familiarity with prayer. \nHOW LONG IS A PRAYER NIGHT?\nPrayer nights are typically 45 minutes to 60 minutes long. \nCAN I BRING MY KIDS?\nAbsolutely. We work hard to make sure the kids can participate or have something to do during our Prayer Nights. \nIf you have any other questions\, feel free to reach out to us at office@stmark.net

SUMMARY:Jr. High Youth Gathering
DESCRIPTION:Join hundreds of teens and friends from St. Mark in Frankenmuth for an unforgettable experience as we discover a God who loves you more than you know! \nWHERE: Frankenmuth\, Michigan \nWHO: Any current 5th–8th grade youth (those entering grades 6th–9th in fall of 2026) \nCOST: $185 before 4/27/26 \nREGISTER: Click HERE to register. Please read and follow the registration instructions in this enrollment guide. \nClick HERE for a short video preview of the 2026 theme! \nClick HERE to see an info sheet for parents and youth about the gathering. \nIf the cost of this retreat is still a burden\, please let us know.

Likewise\, if you feel you can pay more than $185 to help offset the cost of another youth\, you are welcome to do so! \nFriends are welcome to attend this youth gathering with you and must also register before 4/27. \nWhat is Alien Fellowship?\nNo\, we’re not heading to Area 51 or digging into secret government UFO files. 👀Instead\, we’re discovering what it really means to follow Jesus in a world that often doesn’t understand Him. As Christians\, we can sometimes feel like aliens — different\, set apart\, even misunderstood. But here’s the incredible truth: \n\nWe are never alone.\nWe belong to something bigger.\nWe are part of a fellowship stronger than anything this world can offer.\n\nBecause Jesus Christ is at the center of our fellowship\, our hope isn’t just for this world — it’s out of this world. Get ready for faith\, friendship\, fun\, and a reminder that even if we feel like aliens here\, we belong to Him forever.
