St. Mark's Lion

From ancient times, a winged lion has been the symbol of St. Mark. This modern representation was drawn by Earl Albrecht, a former Vicar at St. Mark's, who painted a set of eight panels inside the church representing various community ministries of our congregation.

We believe in serving our Lord Jesus Christ by serving others within our community and in our midst. Click on a small image to see a larger one, with explanation:
