Who we are
Mission Statement: St. Mark's is a welcoming, caring, affirming and inclusive community. We come together to worship Jesus Christ whose loving example and teachings call us to love God and our neighbors without exception and to serve our communities wherever there is need.
We are a diverse and active parish, located in the heart of downtown Mt. Kisco, drawing our congregation from across Northern Westchester. We invite you to learn more about us here and we hope that you will visit us in person as well.
We seek to serve all persons who may have unanswered spiritual needs; religious questions; major life events; a hunger for a fresh sense of community; or who want to learn more about God, Jesus, the Church, or a Life of Faith. We recognize that the spiritual life is a unique journey for each person. It would be a privilege to have you come and journey with us.
Our weekly Sunday service is a 9:30 am celebration of the Holy Eucharist in the form of Rite II, which uses contemporary language, for most Sundays, and the more Traditional, Rite I, service on a Sunday during each season. We also have a service on Thursday mornings at 9:00 am followed by our Bible/Book Study.

This Week's E-Blast Message from the Rector
“Give therefore to the emperor the things that are the emperor’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” Matthew 22 (NRSV)
On Sunday, folks try to trap Jesus with a question about taxes. Should God’s people pay the emperor, or not? Jesus asks for a coin, points to the face stamped on it, and says, “Give therefore to the emperor the things that are the emperor’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” It’s a clever escape. It’s also a question that follows us home: if the coin bears Caesar’s image, whose image do we bear? And what does God then ask of us?
Together, we’ll set that question beside Moses on the mountain, begging to see God’s glory and getting something stranger and more tender instead. He gets a hiding place in the rock, the shelter of God’s hand, and a glimpse of God from behind. Moses wanted certainty, but he got presence and the call to keep walking without seeing the whole road.
Giving ourselves to God sometimes looks obvious, like a pledge card or a Saturday morning of service. More often it’s quiet: the patience nobody notices, the letting go nobody sees, the trust it takes to follow when we can’t see where we’re going. Either way, it almost always costs us something. Come Sunday as we wonder together about what belongs to God, and where we might catch sight of God passing by.
May Peace live in your heart,
Rev. Kyle
