On July 20, 2008 the people of St. Mark's welcomed to its ministry Alan Wesley Peacock who was ordained by The Reverend Edward R. Benoway, Bisohp of the Florida-Bahamas Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. Hymns were sung as "Alan" became "Pastor Alan Peacock" and the entire mood of the service was joyfully upbeat. The Reverend Richard Dow, Sr. Pastor at St. Mark's, delivered the sermon. Surrounded by other Pastors of the ELCA, family, friends, and an excited congregation, Pastor Peacock began his ministry among us.Pastor Peacock was Vicar at Shepherd of the Woods and many people from that congregation (including Pastor Johnson and Pastor Iverson) were in attendance. Several members of the SOTW choir joined members of the St. Mark's Festival Choir in singning "Offertory" by John Ness Beck.
Welcome to St. Mark's Pastor Peacock!
