Choir
The St. Mark’s choir performs with all Rite II Sunday services. Choir practice immediately follows the worship service. We sing hymns from Episcopal Hymnal 1982, Wonder Love and Praise, and Lift Every Voice and Sing II that are singable and befit the readings for that Sunday’s program.
St. Mark’s Odell Organ
The St. Mark’s Odell Organ was built in 1926 and is the treasured centerpiece of our dynamic music program.
