Welcome Elyse Yocum: St. Mark Summer Intern

Elyse will join the St. Mark staff on May 30, 2023 as the summer intern.  A few of her responsibilities this summer will be helping prepare for and lead part of Vacation Bible School, working with the youth, and learning the overall day to day workings of a church.  Elyse will have the opportunity to use her creativity to plan events for the youth and others.  She will work with the Sunday school age children during VBS and experience their energy and pure joy.  She will be able to build relationships with the youth and others in the church.  I am hopeful that Elyse will grow in many ways this summer.

We as St. Mark staff and members will have the opportunity to learn from her and witness her passion and creativity come to life.  We as a staff will get to know Elyse and grow alongside her.  Elyse and I have already talked about some fun outings for the youth group.  We have discussed possible outreach and service opportunities for the summer.  I am confident there will be more exciting things to come. 

Elyse will introduce herself as the summer intern on June 4th at both worship services.  If you don’t already know Elyse, please introduce yourself to her.  I am excited for this summer! 

Peace, 

Pastor Katrina Steingraeber 


Hello, my name is Elyse Yocum, and I am excited to be this year's summer intern!  I love the outdoors and being active.  I hope to help grow the youth's faith in God, as well as mine.  My future plans are to get a job in the medical field this fall.
