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
"For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.” [Romans 8-NRSV]
​
While our Gospel lesson on Sunday will again include parables from Jesus, the end of our message from St. Paul's letter to the Romans names something quite powerful about the love of God.
​
One common definition of Sin, and maybe the one I return to the most, is a chosen separation from relationship with God and one another. When I break my covenant of relationship with God, or you, I have sinned. This is a separation.
But what we are reminded of here is a two-fold promise. First, that the breaking is not permanent. Second, that it was only ever one sided. No matter what we might be up to, God is not separating Godself from us, and certainly not withholding God's own love for us at any point.
What a freeing reminder it is to know that God is there, loving us in and through the stormy seas of life, through the highs and the lows, through the righteousness and, yes indeed my friends, the sin. God's love is just that BIG and lasting, and maybe, just maybe, that's enough to help us be transformed and shaped as we grow and learn together, becoming ever more faithful disciples of Jesus Christ, our brother, our Savior, our Risen Lord.

Blessings,
Rev. Kyle
