Rise & Shine Please join us for our semiannual Rise & Shine THIS Saturday, November 15 from 9:30-11:30am. Come and help us make the altars shine and get ready for Christmas!

Open Stages with MK Arts Council The next Open Stages event at St. Mark’s in association with the Mount Kisco Arts Council is coming this Saturday, November 15, at 6:30 pm! Join us for a great time in the Parish Hall!

 

Stewardship If you haven’t already returned your 2026 pledge for giving to St. Mark’s, you are invited to bring it next Sunday, November 23rd, as we celebrate the Reign of Christ the King and also mark the Sunday before Thanksgiving, naming our thanks for the community in which we gather regularly. We will bless the pledges, both those turned in physically and those submitted online, as an offering to the glory of God and the hope for our beloved community in this next year together.

 

St. Mark’s Movie Night The next movie night is coming up next Wednesday, November 19! The Poll came back with Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein, so we will meet at 6 pm instead, since it’s a little longer of an option. As always, there will be popcorn and soda, but feel free to bring a snack to share, your own supper, or your comfier chair to enjoy the movie in the Parish Hall. 

 

Stars of Hope We had 30 of our Stars of Hope delivered this week to Kensico Dam Plaza for next week's opening of Winter Wonderland on Nov. 21, and the first weekend's  for the NovemberFest. We'll have a table at the fest from 5 to 9 pm on Nov. 21, 22 and 23, and are looking for volunteers to help staff the table, which will be located by the big Christmas tree. We will be selling stars and spreading the good news about our growing congregation. We could also use help on Fri. Nov. 21 from 12.30 to 2 pm to help set up our tent and table. There's a sign-up sheet  at the church or contact David Wilson by phone or text at 914-217-5600.

 

Candlelight Concerts Our Fever Candlelight Concerts have fully returned to St. Mark’s and we have a lot of concerts scheduled this Fall. Be sure to get your tickets at https://feverup.com/en/westchester-county and to let Jess Mineo know when you can volunteer to help out. 

 

Thursday Bible & Book Study Join us after the 9 am service for a discussion on Chapters 19 & 20 of Walk in Love: Episcopal Beliefs and Practices, which discuss the Saints and Christian Vocation. 

 

Vestry The Vestry will meet following the service this Sunday for their monthly meeting. Please keep them in prayer. 

 

Food Pantry Items The items needed by The Pantry can still be dropped off in the basket under the table at the Main Parish Entrance for delivery each week. They remain the same and are: white rice; canned corn; canned or dried beans; canned chicken, salmon, or tuna; canned pineapple; cereal (hot or cold/low sugar/whole grain); pasta & pasta sauce (tomato); peanut butter & jelly; shelf stable milk or milk alternative; soup.

 

Food for Neighbors With the continued need for food amongst our neighbors, and a lot of continued uncertainty, we invite you to bring what you can to share, and if you are in need, please let Rev. Kyle know. 

 

Directory Tech Time As folks have had issues getting into the new online directory, you are invited to stop by and chat with Rev. Kyle next week for a special Tech Time focused on this issue next Sunday, Nov. 23. If you use a mobile device, such as a smartphone, tablet, or laptop computer, you can bring that so that you are learning on your own device.
