St Mark's Episcopal Church

About this church

St Mark's Episcopal Church in Tampa offers Sunday Holy Communion in two forms. The 8:00 a.m. Rite II service uses spoken liturgy, limited music, and organ accompaniment. At 10:15, a more festal Rite II service adds full choir and congregational singing, organ, and a sung Eucharistic prayer; this later service is streamed on YouTube. A short family service begins in the Parish Hall at 10:10 and joins the main congregation at the peace. Wednesday worship meets in the side chapel at 5:00 p.m.

The parish explains Episcopal worship as gathering in God's name, hearing Scripture and preaching, praying, exchanging Christ's peace, presenting gifts, and sharing Holy Communion. Lay participation includes greeting, altar preparation, choir, readings, sound, acolyte service, and Eucharistic ministry. Community work is equally specific: St Mark's collects food throughout the year for the Carrollwood pantry, gathers backpacks and school supplies, and supports a school for girls in Honduras through a medical mission and scholarship. Visitors can therefore choose a quieter or more musical Eucharist, find a child-centered entry into worship, and see how liturgy leads into local and international service.
