Beloved Saint Mark's Community,
It is with a broken heart that I share with you the news that our church building is lost. It caught fire at around 6:30 this morning, and is gone. I don't yet know the extent of the damage to the rest of the campus, but many buildings in the immediate vicinity have burned as well. I have also received word from several members of our community that their homes are gone.
We will need one another in the days ahead as we face these devastating losses. I am here for you, and I know our community will hold together, and love and support one another through whatever lies ahead.
If you need immediate help or shelter, please reach out to me (626-227-5421). I will be working with staff and others to create a network of mutual support, and we will get you connected with help.
With deep love,
Carri+
