Youth Groups
The St. Mark’s Youth Group is for youth between 4th and 12th grade. This is divided into three smaller groups – Senior High, Junior High, and the Lions (4th – 6th grade). They all do faith-building activities as well as just have fun!
Here are some of their past activities:
- Skiing, Ice skating and going to Fun Depot to play putt-putt and laser tag
- Visited Carolina Hemlocks
- Hiked in the Black Balsam area
- Fall Barbecue and Auction Fundraiser
- Oktoberfest
- Annual Youth Show
- Game night with the Senior Adults
- Community Service project at Beaver Lake
- Serving Sandwiches in Pritchard Park
- Preparing and serving dinner to families at Steadfast House

National Youth Gathering
Every three years, the ELCA holds a national youth gathering. The 2012 National Youth Gathering, held in New Orleans, was “Citizens With The Saints” and was based on Ephesians 2:14-20. The next National Youth Gathering will be in 2015 in Detroit, Michigan.
