 Safety TeamWe are pleased to announce the St. Mark's Safety and Preparedness Ministry. This group's purpose is addressing a unique challenge faith communities face today: ensuring safety of its members. St. Mark's is a safe haven for so many; a place of worship, reflection, guidance, and love. It's time for members of our congregation to band together and make a plan to instill confidence, comfort, and security.
We never think a disaster will happen at OUR church, in OUR town. But, we must develop a realistic strategy to protect our congregation, our clergy, and our thriving community. This ministry will work together to draft a written plan, establish routines, identify potential threats, and brainstorm ways to respond efficiently and effectively in a crisis.
If you're interested, please contact Malinda Collier, dre@stmarksrva.org to learn more. We hope you'll help us build a stronger, safer future for St. Mark's and the community. There are several training opportunities coming up - one on March 23 from 10am - noon at St. Martin's Williamsburg - a group is going so carpooling is an option. Contact Suzanne Long, suzanne_long@hotmail.com to register for this Places of Worship Safety program before March 18.
