Welcome to the Music and Arts Ministries of St. Mark UMC
These ministries are dynamic and inclusive. They engage and empower their members in personal and spiritual growth, minister to the congregation, and offer opportunities for service within the church and community.
Our Chancel Choir helps lead worship each Sunday at the 8:45 a.m. and the 11:00 a.m. traditional worship services that meet in the main sanctuary. The choir, under the direction of Carol Jones, is open to all adults who love to sing. The music is a diverse repertoire covering the traditional, classical, and contemporary. There are opportunities within the group for ensemble singing as well as solo work. The choir meets each Wednesday evening from 7:00 p.m. to 8:15 p.m. For more information, you may call the church office (864-229-5416) , use the Contact Us link on this page, or email the director (carol@stmarkgreenwood.com).
Then he took his staff in his hand, chose five smooth stones from the stream, put them in the pouch of his shepherd's bag and, with his sling in his hand, approached the Philistine.
I Samuel 17:40
One can only imagine the instant that David stood poised in front of Goliath, sling in hand. What emotions he must have felt before hurling a single smooth stone into the temple of such an overwhelming adversary! Stepping WAY beyond his comfort zone, David put his faith in God. He
trusted the Almighty to help him accomplish what many deemed impossible. It remains an underdog story for the ages!
In today’s world, we Christians are surrounded by giants. Maybe we're not staring down a towering, ruthless warrior, but false teachings, misguided philosophies and worldly lifestyles plague our lives at every turn. God calls us to take up whatever arms we have and go to battle with these giants. It is with that calling that Five Smooth Stones was formed. 5SS is the praise and worship team for Sunday Morning Blend, St. Mark’s contemporary worship service. Drawing from a wealth of musical talent, its members seek to use their gifts and talents to engage our congregation and community in spirit-fueled worship to our Savior. By stepping out in front of our service, 5SS leads the charge every week as we commune together to battle the giants that we all undoubtedly face. The members have put their faith in God to help them spread the good news that Satan has been vanquished and that Jesus is King! We invite you to come and celebrate that fact with us every Sunday at 11:15 a.m. at the Rivers St. Campus. Giants be warned!
