Worship Services
Due to the capacity restrictions and social distancing guidelines in dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic, our in-person worship services are limited to a small group of people. In order to bring our services to all members and the community, St. Mark's offers online "virtual" worship as a means to connect our members and still engage in worship. Below is a directory of links to our virtual worship services with the corresponding bulletin so that you may join us live at our next virtual worship service or listen to a service that you may have missed in the past.

Live Virtual Worship on Zoom
In order to practice good online security, the password for all Zoom worship services is emailed to members; please email admin@stmarksaurora.org to request for non-members. Thank you for your understanding with our need to safeguard against “Zoombombing.”
Our worship service will also be live-streamed on St. Mark's Facebook page at www.facebook.com/stmarkschurchandpreschool/
