St. Mark's Christian Early Learning Center is now fully certified by the State of Maryland. We are continuing to accept applications for the 2010-2011 academic year. A typical day for the students consists of a morning prayer, the pledge of allegiance, learning the alphabet, numbers, shapes and colors, studying Gods word through both Old and New Testament Bible stories, singing Bible songs, and completing craft projects that relate to their lessons.
In addition to their routine studies, the children go on field trips and host various visitors. The children have also participated in many community-related service projects.

Men of all ages are invited to the monthly Men's Breakfast at St. Mark's. The next breakfast will be on Saturday, November 6th at 8:00 AM in the church Fellowship Hall. Men of all ages are invited. Please come! Bring a friend!

The next monthly Women's Luncheons will be held Wednesday, November 10th at noon. Women of all ages are invited to bring a dish and a friend.
