ABOUT
Mark Cable has been ministering full-time through music and humor since 1981. His travels take him to churches and conference centers throughout the Eastern United States. About two thirds of Mark's engagements are "Great Night Events" - either the GREAT DATE NIGHT for couples, or the GREAT NIGHT OUT for all adults. The rest are church-wide events for all ages: Special Sunday morning SERMON in SONG concerts, Friend Day concerts, Volunteer Appreciation Events, family nights, and various church banquets. These events are described below.
An accomplished acoustic guitarist and songwriter, Mark has released 22 CDs and has received radio airplay on Christian stations across the U.S. His latest CD is entitled "Just That Good". He and his wife, Dodi, live in York, PA and have six children, ranging in age from 16-33. Mark is a licensed minister of the Gospel and has served as an elder in his local church. He has also coached youth and Jr. High basketball for over 20 years.

the GREAT DATE NIGHT &
the GREAT NIGHT OUT
the GREAT NIGHT OUT
These two fun events are laid-back coffeehouse style evenings with plenty of great music, stories, laughter and hope. Typically the night consists of two sets of music and comedy with an intentional dessert break in the middle for folks to interact and relax. The Great Date Night is a fun marriage event aimed at encouraging and strengthening couples. It is a perfect Valentines' Day event alternative for a church's annual Sweetheart Banquet, but also works well anytime throughout the year. The Great Night Out is an enjoyable evening for all adults.
“Thanks so much for ‘The Great Date Night’. It was a perfect blend of comedy, song, and real life stories, with the hope of Jesus Christ woven throughout. The couples of our church loved it!!”
Pastor Scott Snyder
First Light Church
Vandalia, OH

SERMON IN SONG
The Sermon in Song is an excellent way to have Mark minister and connect with your entire congregation. Through scripture, songs, sharing, and humor Mark delivers a powerful morning message of faith and hope in a way that is both inspiring and engaging. Some of the most common instances include Friend Day, Rally Day, 'pastor is on vacation' day or any special Sunday when a church might invite in a guest speaker!
“Your ability to connect with each person was evident throughout your "sermon in song." The songs were great, not only musically, but also in their message of hope. Thank you for bringing the Word to life through music that was funny, engaging and challenging.”
Pastor Jeff Graves
Grace Church
Ridgewood, NJ

His list of venues over the years also includes local parks and restaurants, a bowling alley, a roller rink and even a few backyards!!
