SONlight
SONlight is the youth choir of St.
Mark’s, and this group participates monthly in Sunday morning worship.
SONlight goes on an annual summer choir tour, and previous tours have taken
them to Charleston, South Carolina, and St. Louis, Missouri. In 2006, the

their music. Rehearsals take place from 4:00-5:00 p.m. in the Worship Center.
Chancel Ringers
This handbell ensemble rehearses on
Sunday evenings from 5:15 to 6:30 p.m. in the Worship Center. Throughout
the year, the Chancel Ringers perform regularly in worship and also participate
in the Murfreesboro area Epiphany Ring (hosted in 2005 by St. Mark's!),
and the Chattanooga Area Handbell Festival.
Chancel Choir
One of the most committed groups in
the church, the Chancel Choir rehearses every Wednesday from 7:30-9:00
p.m. in the Music Room and sings almost every Sunday during worship. This
past Spring, they sang in a special joint performance of Gabriel Fauré’s
Requiem during Lent with Murfreesboro area churches. Some of the highlights
of the year include special services with instrumental groups on various
holidays, the Advent/Christmas season, and various Lent/Easter services.
Marksmen
The Marksmen are a men's Southern
Gospel quartet within the St. Mark's Community that regularly sings in
worship and also participates in events in the community. Members of this
ensemble include Steve Dix, Sean Gilliland, Al Hollins, and Tim Tackett.
