Honoring the past, embracing the future


From South Carolina-

A year and a half ago, soon after she turned 30, Eva Noisette decided to join St. Mark's Episcopal Church.

She hadn't been a regular churchgoer before that, but she knew about St. Mark's in downtown Charleston from her stepfather, who had been a member, and her mother, Anita Jefferson, who had joined a few years earlier and now serves as junior warden.

"As you get older, you decide you want to get right with everything," Noisette said.

She likes it at St. Mark's. "Everyone is so nice and sweet," she said.

The services are straightforward, the fellowship rewarding. She's joined the Episcopal Church Women's group, which meets once a month.

"I like the fact that it's a mixed church," she said. "It's definitely for everybody, and you can see that as soon as you walk in the doors."
