Mission Quilts - St. Mark's Quilters
St. Mark's Quilters meet on Tuesday mornings from 9:15-11:30am to make quilts for Lutheran World Relief in New Windsor, MD. If you can use a pen, scissors, tie a knot, or sew all are welcome to come and join us.
When you make and send a quilt, you are not only comforting someone you have never met, but providing an object that is useful in ways you probably never imagined. The ultimate purpose of a quilt is to provide warmth, an essential need for people in every climate. 20% of the quilts stay in the US, the rest are used throughout the world.

In addition to being a cozy, clean new bed cover, it can be:
- a baby carrier, tied around a mother’s back;
- a market display, spread on the ground and piled with vegetables;
- a sack for transporting those goods to market;
- a sunshade;
- a shawl; and most importantly
- a constant reminder that someone, far away, cares a lot.

DE/MD Synod
Walking together, we're able to proclaim the Gospel of God's unconditional love in Jesus Christ throughout Delaware and Maryland. The synod unites the work of congregations within our area, serves as regional support, and offers pastoral guidance. In order to strengthen the relationship between our local church, the synod leaders and the church wide office, we work with the Delaware/Maryland Synod to support the work of the synod.
