UPDATE: Christmas at St. Mark’s

December 17, 2020

Yes, Virginia, there is a Christmas Day coming — even in the year 2020! Of course, 2020’s indelible mark changes these holidays in many ways. Most of us will not be gathering in person, because of the coronavirus pandemic, which continues to ravage our world. But we can gather in both real and virtual ways to commemorate the birth of our Lord. We’ll have one 7:30 p.m. service on Christmas Eve — in our sanctuary for those with reservations and also livestreaming on our YouTube channel for those joining remotely. See our plans for Sunday, Dec. 27, too. Read more to get all the links!

Midweek Extra: With Bishop William Gohl

December 16, 2020

We were delighted to welcome Bishop William Gohl Jr. of our Delaware-Maryland Synod to our worship services on Sunday, December 13. After the service, Bishop Gohl sat down with Interim Pastor David Mueller to tape a conversation for the Midweek Extra, which is produced by John Lasher, St. Mark’s director of music and worship arts. They discussed the role of a bishop in our denomination — the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America — as well as the “call” process, which St. Mark’s is pursuing now as we look for a new pastor, and how the church can grow and minister into the future.
