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
"Taking the five loaves and the two fish, he looked up to heaven, and blessed and broke the loaves, and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds. And all ate and were filled; and they took up what was left over of the broken pieces, twelve baskets full. And those who ate were about five thousand men, besides women and children.” [Matthew 14-NRSV]

This weekend, we'll together hear the story of Jesus' first feeding of a multitude in the Gospel according to Matthew. Of all of his miracles, these feeding ones stand out to me greatly and always have.
This isn't simply because of how wonderful it is to have the food multiply as it is shared and somehow be enough after God has been thanked and interceded. A true miracle. Now, I do believe all that to be true, but the reason I'm fascinated is different.
The really interesting thing here is that this moment is a miracle even if you're someone who doesn't believe in the miraculous. If Jesus raised up the food, blessed them, and passed them around with there still being leftovers from 5,000 men PLUS women and children, all without any miracle of multiplication of loaves and fishes, what we must then accept is that every one of these people sat down and passed around every bit of food they had to share with a whole mess (there's that measurement again) of strangers.
That, my friends, is also a miracle: to share so profoundly that all are filled and none left hungry. Now, we can believe in the divine miracles and still decide to be active participants in being miracles for others. Maybe this is something to which we should all strive as we gather once more round the Table together on Sunday.

May Peace live in your heart,
Rev. Kyle
