For over 100 years, St. Mark's has sold Easter candy to support the work of the church. What started in 1913 as a fundraiser to purchase the church organ, now continues as a fundraiser to support St. Mark's as well as our ministries to the wider community.
Over the last century the folks at St. Mark's made eggs by hand in the basement of the church. Each person had their own unique job depending on what part of the candy production suited their gifts. Candy makers were all ages and for many families, it was a generational thing, as candy making spanned as many as 4 generations in our church. The pandemic, however, changed how we do things. We secured a partnership with a candy maker in Lancaster who uses our recipe to produce eggs for our fundraiser.
