St. Mark's New Canaan

The Seventh Sunday after Pentecost  The James Webb Space Telescope recently gave us incredible new images from the vastness of space. These astounding sights rekindle feelings of joy and wonder in us. According to people like Jesus, St. Francis, and Thomas Merton, our prayer lives can do the same. #episcopal #episcopalchurch #episcopalian #church #jesusmovement #wayoflove #christian #anglican #all...

The Sixth Sunday after Pentecost We all have an active side and a contemplative side, but far too often the active side tells us that we don't have time for contemplation. What is getting in the way of developing your spiritual life and how can you bring both sides into greater harmony? #episcopal #episcopalchurch #episcopalian #church #jesusmovement #wayoflove #christian #anglican #allarewel...

The Fifth Sunday after Pentecost.  Sometimes, we want to know who to consider a "neighbor" so we can figure out who to disregard or exclude. What happens when we stop allowing categories to define us and our actions?  What is possible when we drop our assumptions of others...even our enemies? #episcopal #episcopalchurch #episcopalian #church #jesusmovement #wayoflove #christian #anglican...

The Fourth Sunday after Pentecost  Like those Jesus called as disciples, it sometimes feels like we're being sent into a world that attacks and rejects his message. Jesus' advice is to shake off those encounters and see what happens when we continue to preach the Gospel. #episcopal #episcopalchurch #episcopalian #church #jesusmovement #wayoflove #christian #anglican #allarewelcome #chris...

The Third Sunday after Pentecost.  Do you feel as though life's stressful situations and headlines keep coming? Some words of wisdom from Wendell Berry and the example of Jesus give us an idea of how we can begin walking through life as a non-anxious presence. #episcopal #episcopalchurch #episcopalian #church #jesusmovement #wayoflove #christian #anglican #allarewelcome #christianity #prayer...

The Second Sunday after Pentecost.  After every tragedy, we hear countless people offer their thoughts and prayers. But what are we to think of prayer when the tragedies continue? Fr. Justin Crisp ponders if the era of miracles is over or if God is still finding ways to surprise us. #episcopal #episcopalchurch #episcopalian #church #jesusmovement #wayoflove #christian #anglican #allarewelcome #chr...

The First Sunday after Pentecost: Trinity Sunday  Theologians and scholars have debated and discussed the doctrine of the Trinity for years. However, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are often understood best by simply looking at how they're alive through the mission and people of a church community.  #episcopal #episcopalchurch #episcopalian #church #jesusmovement #wayoflove #christian #angl...

The Feast of Pentecost | Youth Sunday What started out as a letter-writing ministry between youth and elders impacted Taylor's life in a way she never imagined. Hear how two people from different generations became close friends and discovered connections they never knew about.  #episcopal #episcopalchurch #episcopalian #church #jesusmovement #wayoflove #christian #anglican #allarewelcome #ch...

The Seventh Sunday of Easter  With the fast pace of our lives and so many tragedies happening, do we need to take a moment and let our souls catch up with us? What will it take to stir us from apathy to action? How can we live up to Jesus' prayer that we "may all be one"? #episcopal #episcopalchurch #episcopalian #church #jesusmovement #wayoflove #christian #anglican #allarewelcome...

The Sixth Sunday of Easter  Are you struggling to be at peace in today's world? Jesus said, "Peace I leave with you", but where do we look? A book written by Teresa of Avila in 1588 offers a spiritual journey to help us find it. #episcopal #episcopalchurch #episcopalian #church #jesusmovement #wayoflove #christian #anglican #allarewelcome #christianity #prayer #jesus #iglesiaepiscop...

The Fifth Sunday of Easter.  Jesus calls us to a way of love that seems impossible. Beyond loving our enemies, we're expected to love one another the way Jesus loved us. Despite the long odds, this kind of love wins every time. #episcopal #episcopalchurch #episcopalian #church #jesusmovement #wayoflove #christian #anglican #allarewelcome #christianity #prayer #jesus #iglesiaepiscopal   #theol...

The Fourth Sunday of Easter  We sometimes ask for signs that God really exists. Through Jesus, the world could see God at work and through the Church, today's world can still see Jesus at work. Events like May Fair are a reminder that God is using all of us to do incredible things. #episcopal #episcopalchurch #episcopalian #church #jesusmovement #wayoflove #christian #anglican #allarewelcome...

The Second Sunday of Easter  The Biblical accounts of the resurrection and the Greek story of Elektra  deal with themes of life and death. Though they end in very different ways, there is a common lesson about forgiveness that shouldn't be missed. #episcopal #episcopalchurch #episcopalian #church #jesusmovement #wayoflove #christian #anglican #allarewelcome #christianity #prayer #jesus #igles...

The Third Sunday of Easter   Commentators debate if John's story of Peter and Jesus is about forgiveness or guilt. What might we learn if we saw this as a story about love? #episcopal #episcopalchurch #episcopalian #church #jesusmovement #wayoflove #christian #anglican #allarewelcome #christianity #prayer #jesus #iglesiaepiscopal   #theology #anglicanchurch #holyspririt #faith #stmarksnewcana...

Maundy Thursday.  Are you "spiritual but not religious"? Do you prefer encountering God in nature instead of a church service?  Maundy Thursday's ritual of washing feet reminds us that we are intimately connected with nature and one another, and there is no separation between God and us. #episcopal #episcopalchurch #episcopalian #church #jesusmovement #wayoflove #christian #anglican...

Good Friday.  Picture sin as being estranged from those we love. Where is God in our solitude? What awaits us when we're ready to face the darkened places of our soul? #episcopal #episcopalchurch #episcopalian #church #jesusmovement #wayoflove #christian #anglican #allarewelcome #christianity #prayer #jesus #iglesiaepiscopal   #theology #anglicanchurch #holyspririt #faith #stmarksnewcanaaan #...

The Great Vigil of Easter.  Salvation history is filled with stories of God's divine light accomplishing impossible things. Most amazing of all is what it does within each of us. #episcopal #episcopalchurch #episcopalian #church #jesusmovement #wayoflove #christian #anglican #allarewelcome #christianity #prayer #jesus #iglesiaepiscopal   #theology #anglicanchurch #holyspririt #faith #stmarksn...

Easter Day.  See how three Greek words for “saw” show how the Resurrection dawned on Mary, John, and Peter and how it continues to dawn on us. #episcopal #episcopalchurch #episcopalian #church #jesusmovement #wayoflove #christian #anglican #allarewelcome #christianity #prayer #jesus #iglesiaepiscopal   #theology #anglicanchurch #holyspririt #faith #stmarksnewcanaaan #revpeterwalsh #ens #ecct #spir...

The Fifth Sunday in Lent.   Think about this statement: "We learn how to die so we know how to live." The Christian tradition has much to say about facing death and, in doing so, we learn to recognize the gifts life presents to us. #episcopal #episcopalchurch #episcopalian #church #jesusmovement #wayoflove #christian #anglican #allarewelcome #christianity #prayer #jesus #iglesiaepiscopal...

The Fourth Sunday in Advent.   Most people have heard the Parable of the Prodigal Son...but why is it just the one son we focus on? When we consider the perspectives of the father and older son, we get a better glimpse at the shocking nature of the story and God's love. #episcopal #episcopalchurch #episcopalian #church #jesusmovement #wayoflove #christian #anglican #allarewelcome #christianit...

The Third Sunday in Lent.   While some stories startle us into creating lasting change, we more often fall into patterns of blaming bad guys and victims. When Jesus calls for us to repent, he's asking us to change our hearts and minds...or maybe even go beyond that. #episcopal #episcopalchurch #episcopalian #church #jesusmovement #wayoflove #christian #anglican #allarewelcome #christianity #p...

The Second Sunday in Lent.   Our daily headlines, filled with the tragic news of war, are a reminder that we will always have enemies to face, just as Jesus and St. Paul did. While we may repudiate the actions of our enemies, the courageous perseverance of Jesus reminds us that we should also seek to recognize their humanity. #episcopal #episcopalchurch #episcopalian #church #jesusmovement #wayofl...
