This is the largest covered park in Brevard. Newly opened and located behind the Cross Bridge…read moreChurch. The church opened this park to the community for all to use. As previously mentioned the park is covered (perfect for hot days), gated (to keep our little ones from running away) and the floor is that soft fake grass (safer for falls and running around) . Truly the perfect/safe space for kids of all ages. Adjacent to the park is a covered pavilion with plenty picnic tables for eating and bathrooms as well as a fountain. The park itself is one of the nicest parks I have ever been to and I wish there was one like this when I was a child. They have a section for ages 2-5 and a section for ages 5-12. There are slides for all ages including the three that are around 20 feet tall or more that's enclosed. There's lots of climbing options including the big spider web. There is lots of sensory items for sounds, shapes and movement for little ones to play with. There is also learning material like sign language, shapes, and the alphabet plastered throughout. There is even a section with swings for babies, handicap or bigger children. There really is too many amazing features to explain so I would highly suggest coming for yourself.

But if you want Truth, whether you disagree with some of his interpretations of the more complicated parts and Revelation, at least he teaches it. That takes courage and boldness. This is the one fellowship that I can easily reccommend for teaching the whole Bible from Genesis 1 the verse first to the last period in Revelation. No fellowship is perfect. And these Brethren tend to be more mature in the Love of GOD and friendly. The only challenge is it's on the last part of the last island of Merritt Island on Banana Drive. and for GLEN C., well, are you in Tennessee? You'd know that GOD can do miracles and gives 2nd chances to fellowships that change. I don't know their past, but I do know their present. With Dr. Esposito's leadership and friendliness and frankness, they are on more than just the right road. MORE SO THAN MOST FELLOWSHIPS HERE IN BREVARd. I am visiting them all repeatedly.. including Messianic congregations.... B'Shem Yeshua Mispochim, The Shema Lady

I arrived for the 10:30 AM Sunday Mass. When I walked towards the entrance, I heard a bell ringing,…read morebut the bell in the bell tower was not ringing. Instead they had speakers next to the bell that played sounds of a bell ringing, and that ended up being fairly prophetic of the service to come. When I visited a Lutheran and Episcopalian church, they handed you little pamphlets explaining the liturgy so newcomers could follow along and understand what's going on. That did not happen here. This was my first time ever in a Mass, and there was no explanation of the liturgy, not even on the projector. When everyone did the sign of the cross, I had no idea that was what happened. After the lector finished the scripture reading and said "The word of the Lord," I had nothing telling me to respond with "Praise be to God." I am sure any other newcomer to Roman Catholicism or a Mass will feel the same. The songs from the hymnal were alright. A contemporary worship band, guitars, drum, violin, etc., accompanied the hymns. Fairly standard for the post-Tredentine Novus Ordo Mass, but not at all traditional. The rest of the service was quite good. The sermon was Biblically grounded and the message good. I would not go here if I were after a traditional church service.

I love a historic church and I came across this one in Cocoa's historic district. In front of St…read more Mark's Episcopal Church is a historic marker that is part of the Historical Marker Program, one of the Division of Historical Resources' most popular and valued public history programs. The markers raise awareness of Florida's cultural history while enhancing the enjoyment of historic sites for residents and tourists. The blue historic markers tell the stories of the people and places that were important to Florida's history and they can be found in front of schools, forts, roads, archaeological sites, battlefields, cemeteries, roads, historic districts, historic buildings, and churches like this one. Historic marker F-689 was installed in 2010 by Brevard County Historical Commission, The Brevard County Tourist Development Council, and the Florida Department of State. The first meeting of St. Mark's Episcopal Church took place on June 2, 1878, when the Right Reverend John Freeman Young, Bishop of Florida and Dr. William H. Carter of Holy Cross Church of Sanford came together at the home of A.L. Hatch in Rockledge. The mission was named in honor of St. Michael the Archangel. After Dr. Carter moved to Tallahassee services continued to be held by various priests. In 1884, Mrs. Lucy Boardman, a winter resident of Sanford and frequent visitor to Cocoa and Melbourne, made a donation to Bishop Young for the construction of an Episcopal churches in the Indian River area. Mrs. Sarah O. Delannoy donated land for the church. Architect Gabriel Gingras designed the board and batten Carpenter Gothic church in 1886. Cocoa pioneers William Booth and William Hindle, designed and installed the church's woodwork. Dr. S.B. Carpenter, Rector of Holy Cross Church of Sanford, visited Cocoa monthly to oversee the church's construction. On Christmas Eve, 1886, the church was the site of the first Christmas tree in Cocoa Village. Early congregation members arrived at the church by boat from the Indian River which is just steps away or they walked from their homes along the river. In 1888, the church's tower bell named Michael, was cast in New York. The name was changed to St. Mark's in 1890 in recognition of the support from St. Mark's Church in West Orange, New Jersey. In 1925 the church was renovated with stucco to look more like the Mediterranean Revival style that was popular at the time. Most of the church's original interior woodwork and stained glass windows still remain today. Many of the beautiful stained glass windows in St. Mark's are dedicated to the church's early founders. One panel is dedicated to Arch Deacon William H. Gresson, who was born in August 1846 and died in June 1921. Other windows were created in memory of Emma J. Hardee, who was born October 6, 1847, and died May 16, 1915, Florence H. Gingras, born May 16, 1870, and died November 6, 1913, Sarepta E. Hartman, born May 9, 1839, and died December 9, 1924, and Cora M. Cook, born in 1858 and died in 1915. In February 1942, the Emma Cecilia Thursby Memorial Fellowship Hall was completed, providing space for community gatherings. Thursby was a popular opera singer in America and Europe in the late 1800's and a professor of music at the Institute of Musical Art, now the Julliard School, in the early 1900's. Thursby and her sister wintered in Cocoa. A parochial school, St. Mark's Episcopal Academy, was begun by the church in 1956. Education is a core focus of the church. Although people arrive by cars now St. Mark's is still a vital part of the Cocoa community. In person Sunday service are offered at 8 and 10:30 AM.
