It’s a most special week for the St. Mark’s family and all who follow Jesus, for it is during this Holy Week that we commemorate the events leading up to Jesus’ death and resurrection. We have several opportunities to gather, worship and reflect on the transformative love that redeems and empowers us for loving service to others.

A special message from Pastor Kelley Ketcham

February 5, 2025

Dear Beloved in Christ, If you are on social media, you have probably seen the inflammatory and libelous remarks by former General Michael Flynn and Elon Musk regarding Lutheran Social Service agencies across the United States. In these posts, both Flynn and Musk accused these agencies of money laundering and insinuated that the Lutheran faith was made up for that purpose. For the record, the organizations targeted in these posts are legally recognized organizations that receive federal grants to carry out programs such as housing assistance, food pantries, disaster assistance, mental health programs and youth services. These grants have been legally obtained, and as such, have strict guidelines as to how they may be spent. Presiding Bishop of the ELCA Elizabeth Eaton has responded to the falsehoods shared in these posts with a video message. In addition to Bishop Eaton’s remarks, I also want to respond to these attacks against these agencies. Please click on “read more” to see our messages.

Celebrating the centennial of Brandywine Hundred Fire Company No. 1!

September 21, 2024

Did you know St. Mark’s has strong ties with Brandywine Hundred Fire Company No. 1, stretching back more than 80 years? Our first service was held on the second floor of the company’s fire house on Jan. 11, 1942. We moved to our current site almost a decade later, and our first service was held in our new building on Christmas Eve 1951. When a disastrous fire broke out in our building in May of 1969, our firefighting neighbors rushed to our aid. You can read more about that fire and our history on our website. This year, Brandywine Hundred Fire Company No. 1 marks its 100th anniversaryand we have plans to join their celebration and honor these first responders.
