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
“’You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the greatest and first commandment. And a second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.” Matthew 22 (NRSV)
A lawyer stands up to test Jesus by asking which of all the commandments is the greatest. It’s another trap, like last week, but it’s also an honest question for anyone who is listening or who has ever felt faith as a list they’re failing. Jesus answers by quoting the law itself, then adds that “on these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.”
Notice that he won’t let us pick one love and skip the other. Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori once warned that faith gets lopsided when “getting right with God” leaves out “getting right with our neighbors." This Sunday, we’ll set that beside Moses on Mount Nebo, looking over a land he’ll never enter, and ask what it means to give yourself for a promise you don’t get to hold.
What if the life of faith isn’t a debt we pay out of fear, but a gift we give out of joy?
May Peace live in your heart,
Rev. Kyle
