Events at St. Mark's

Advent Wreath Workshop Please join us in the Parish Hall after the service Sunday, December 8 for Advent wreath making!  We will have containers, candles and pink and purple balls to commemorate the four weeks of Advent.  We will also supply some greens - feel free to bring some of your own as well! Make one for your home and another to donate!

 

Christmas Flowers and Music The time is here once more for us to seek donations for special music and flowers for our Christmas Eve service here at St. Mark's, at 4:30 pm, with musical prelude and carols at 4:00. We are hoping to add beauty to our space and worship with both, so you are invited to be as generous as you can. Forms are available in the office and from ushers starting today. We ask that you return them with either your celebrations or memorials, and the donations, by Monday, December 16 so we can get everyone in the bulletin correctly for Christmas Eve.

 

Christmas Brunch Our annual Christmas Brunch is coming up on December 15 at 11:30 am! Signups for sides and other items will be out soon. Please RSVP to the office at stmarksoffice@stmarksmountkisco.org. Cost is $25 with some sponsorships to be available so that no one is excluded due to lack of ability to pay. 

 

Stars of Hope Stars are available for purchase after the service and through David Wilson, and we will be working to sell them all throughout Advent. We have about 25 stars for sale. They make great gifts and are also nice to have around the house, all lit up during Advent, Christmas, and longer. Prices range from $20 to $50. More information is available in the News from St. Mark’s e-newsletter.

 

Candlelight Concerts We have three more evenings scheduled for the Candlelight Concerts from Fever after last Friday, on December 13, 14, and 20. Tickets can be found by visiting https://feverup.com/en/westchester-county and looking for St. Mark’s as the venue. Please speak with Jess Mineo to help. 

 

Mount Kisco Interfaith Food Pantry Holiday Ingathering Join us in collecting Cookies (Oreos/Chips Ahoy) and Instant Coffee (Nescafe or Café Bustelo 8oz) for the Food Pantry this holiday season. They are looking for 50 of each from our congregation. These items will be given out during the Holiday Distribution at the Food Pantry.

Thursday Book Study Our Bible & Book Study meets every Thursday, following the 9 am service. This week, we will be discussing chapter 7 of: Outlandish: An Unlikely Messiah, a Messy Ministry, and the Call to Mobilize by Derek Penwell. 

 

Vestry Nominations As we move through Advent and toward the end of the year, Vestry nomination forms are available on the table in the office hallway. The Vestry Nominating Committee is being convened to review and prepare the nominations ahead of our Annual Parish Meeting in February. 

 

Life Line Health Screening If you are needing to get some health screenings but struggle to get appointments or afford the high cost of our for-profit healthcare system, St. Mark's is hosting Life Line Screening on Thursday, January 16, 2025. You can reach them to set an appointment by following the information below. A sign is also up in the hallway at the church. 

 

175th Jubilee and Installation The vestry is working to plan our full celebration for the end of April, 2025, but we can now share that the weekend will culminate in a Festive Eucharist for the Anniversary and Institution of Rev. Kyle as our 24th Rector with Bishop Matt Heyd presiding on Sunday, April 27, 2025 at 4:00 pm. 

 

New Year’s Dancing Welcome in 2025 at our New Year’s Day Ham Dinner Dance. In partnership with Westchester Ballroom, we’ll have tables set up in the Parish Hall around the dance floor, with a buffet dinner and champagne toast to 2025.
