Debbie Theis was baptized on Sunday, July 18. Here we see Fr. David Andrews marking her forehead with the oil of Chrism and saying the words, "Deborah, you are sealed by the Holy Spirit in Baptism and marked as Christ's own for ever," at which point everyone said, "Amen."

Welcome to Saints Andrew and Matthew Episcopal Church (SsAM) in downtown Wilmington, Delaware
Come, discover, and share the vibrant life of The Episcopal Church of Saints Andrew and Matthew, located in the heart of downtown Wilmington. Our congregation was formed from the merger of two historic congregations that had been racially separated. We now draw from the riches of our diverse heritages in celebrative liturgy and music, innovative programming, and a deep involvement in the life of our community. We are seeking to love one another as Christ loves us, and to ground our ministries in witness to God's healing justice and reconciling love.
Explore this website to learn more about us. Better still, make a personal visit!
