We are grateful for the significance of this Christmas season and rejoice to celebrate God’s most glorious gift — Jesus the Christ. We invite you to join us as we worship together on Christmas Eve! We are planning two services: the first at 4 p.m., a contemporary family service; the second at 8 p.m. a traditional candlelight service.

It’s time for the Christmas Bazaar!

December 1, 2025

Save the date and join us for St. Mark’s popular Christmas Bazaar, which will be held from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 6. You’ll find unique handmade gifts and crafts, gift baskets, delicious soups and baked goods, floral arrangements, a fun Lionel train display and much more! A small collection of “white elephant” items also will be available — and who knows what you’ll find there?! All are welcome to join us and admission is free. This is a one-day event that you don’t want to miss! You also are welcome to participate in our annual Advent Prayer Vigil, which will be held simultaneously from 9 a.m. to noon in our Sanctuary. Advent music is the backdrop for silent prayer and meditation and an Advent Prayer Guide will be provided. Many find this a refreshing and meaningful interlude during the busy-ness of the holidays.

Patriotism and Christianity: Reflections from Pastor Kelley

July 4, 2025

The Fourth of July is my husband’s favorite holiday. He makes sure we have our flag correctly displayed, and decorates our front yard with an appropriate amount of red, white and blue. We find a good spot to watch fireworks, making sure to “ooh” and “aah” at all the right times. And it’s just not the Fourth of July in the Ketcham household if we don’t watch the musical “1776.” All in all, the day is one of great joy and celebration. I find it difficult to not be swept up in love for my country in the midst of it all. The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines patriotism as “love for or devotion to one’s country,” and on this day, patriotism runs deep within my soul. But I have to admit that this year the Fourth of July hits a little differently.
