St. Mark's New Canaan

The First Sunday in Lent.  Like Jesus' encounter with the Devil, the demons we face in life reveal things about who we are, who we've yet to become, and prepare us to help others who are fighting similar battles. #episcopal #episcopalchurch #episcopalian #church #jesusmovement #wayoflove #christian #anglican #allarewelcome #christianity #prayer #jesus #iglesiaepiscopal   #theology #angli...

Ash Wednesday.  Beyond deciding what to give up or take on for Lent, is there a deeper meaning we're missing? #episcopal #episcopalchurch #episcopalian #church #jesusmovement #wayoflove #christian #anglican #allarewelcome #christianity #prayer #jesus #iglesiaepiscopal   #theology #anglicanchurch #holyspririt #faith #stmarksnewcanaaan #revelizabethgarnsey #ens #ecct #spirituality #bible #scrip...

The Last Sunday after the Epiphany.  In a world where we're taught to be dazzled by the digital and impressed by imitations, many of us hunger for something real. Surprisingly, that realness can be found, and God can be perceived, in something as simple as a painting, a song, or even a moment of silence. #episcopal #episcopalchurch #episcopalian #church #jesusmovement #wayoflove #christian #a...

The Seventh Sunday after the Epiphany.  How does Jesus demonstrate love in action? Through radical ideas like loving our enemies, blessing those who curse us, turning the other cheek, and giving to those who steal from us. While this sounds like a lot to give, it's worth noting what we get in return. #episcopal #episcopalchurch #episcopalian #church #jesusmovement #wayoflove #christian #angli...

The Sixth Sunday after the Epiphany.  What if someone told you that Jesus' body had just been found and identified? How would that affect a Christian identity that is shaped in many ways by the resurrection? Fr. Justin explores if Christianity is myth, fact, or a combination of both. #episcopal #episcopalchurch #episcopalian #church #jesusmovement #wayoflove #christian #anglican #allarewelcom...

The Fifth Sunday after the Epiphany.  The 258th Annual Parish Meeting.  Fr. Peter Walsh reflects on the various ways St. Mark's has continued to thrive throughout this ever-changing pandemic and provides a look ahead at what 2022 has in store. #episcopal #episcopalchurch #episcopalian #church #jesusmovement #wayoflove #christian #anglican #allarewelcome #christianity #prayer #jesus #iglesiaep...

The Fourth Sunday after the Epiphany.  St. Paul's passage on love in 1 Corinthians is usually associated with weddings. But the message from Jesus to his hometown and the teachings of modern-day mystic Thich That Hanh challenge us to have an even more expansive view of love. #episcopal #episcopalchurch #episcopalian #church #jesusmovement #wayoflove #christian #anglican #allarewelcome #christ...

The Third Sunday after the Epiphany.  Whether we're rooting for or against them, there is something about Disney villains that we can't get enough of. But what happens when we start labeling and calling out "villains" in the real world? How might the words of St. Paul cause us to act differently? #episcopal #episcopalchurch #episcopalian #church #jesusmovement #wayoflove #chris...

The Second Sunday after the Epiphany.  Does Jesus' miracle of turning water into wine seem minor compared to his later ones? Not once we uncover how much meaning is hidden in plain sight!  #episcopal #episcopalchurch #episcopalian #church #jesusmovement #wayoflove #christian #anglican #allarewelcome #christianity #prayer #jesus #iglesiaepiscopal   #theology #anglicanchurch #holyspririt #faith...

The Fourth Sunday of Advent.  Bishop Laura Ahrens reflects on the story of the Little Drummer Boy and asks us to consider what we too might find as we journey to the manger. #episcopal #episcopalchurch #episcopalian #church #jesusmovement #wayoflove #christian #anglican #allarewelcome #christianity #prayer #jesus #iglesiaepiscopal   #theology #anglicanchurch #holyspririt #faith #stmarksnewcanaaan...

The Third Sunday of Advent.  On this Sunday in Advent, which centers around "Joy", a bulldozer may not be the first image that comes to mind...but it may be the very thing we need. #episcopal #episcopalchurch #episcopalian #church #jesusmovement #wayoflove #christian #anglican #allarewelcome #christianity #prayer #jesus #iglesiaepiscopal   #theology #anglicanchurch #holyspririt #faith #s...

The Second Sunday of Advent.  Fr. Peter Walsh takes a look at the people, the places, and the prophecy behind John the Baptist. #episcopal #episcopalchurch #episcopalian #church #jesusmovement #wayoflove #christian #anglican #allarewelcome #christianity #prayer #jesus #iglesiaepiscopal   #theology #anglicanchurch #holyspririt #faith #stmarksnewcanaaan #revpeterwalsh #ens #ecct #spirituality #bible...

The First Sunday of Advent.  Scientists have many theories about how the world will end. Looking to the Bible's own language for the end of the world, we find there is still good news to be found. #episcopal #episcopalchurch #episcopalian #church #jesusmovement #wayoflove #christian #anglican #allarewelcome #christianity #prayer #jesus #iglesiaepiscopal   #theology #anglicanchurch #holyspriri...

The Last after Pentecost: Christ the King.  In the transition from ironically calling Christ a king to presenting him as a cosmic king, we became stuck seeing him as a literal king. How can rediscovering our sense of awe open our eyes to a more expansive view of Christ's kingship? #episcopal #episcopalchurch #episcopalian #church #jesusmovement #wayoflove #christian #anglican #allarewelcome #...

The Twenty-Fifth Sunday after Pentecost.  Jesus paints an apocalyptic picture for his Disciples when he tells them that not one stone from the temple will be left. Fr. Peter Walsh explores how Jesus stands firm as our foundation even while other things seem to fall apart.  #episcopal #episcopalchurch #episcopalian #church #jesusmovement #wayoflove #christian #anglican #allarewelcome #christianity...

All Saints' Day.  Some of Jesus' advice sounds downright crazy...unless it's true. Hear why it's such a gamble for Christians to believe that God and eternal life are real and learn what it really means to love our enemies. #episcopal #episcopalchurch #episcopalian #church #jesusmovement #wayoflove #christian #anglican #allarewelcome #christianity #prayer #jesus #iglesiaepiscop...

The Twenty-Third Sunday after Pentecost.  In a time where we seem more divided than ever, a night of trick-or-treating can serve as the perfect reminder of Jesus' command to love our neighbors and engage in the practice of building community. #episcopal #episcopalchurch #episcopalian #church #jesusmovement #wayoflove #christian #anglican #allarewelcome #christianity #prayer #jesus #iglesiaepi...

The Twenty-Second Sunday after Pentecost.  The Bible shows us many sides of Jesus. The version in today's passage, the Jericho Jesus, is exactly who we need to stand with us in the chaos of our lives. #episcopal #episcopalchurch #episcopalian #church #jesusmovement #wayoflove #christian #anglican #allarewelcome #christianity #prayer #jesus #iglesiaepiscopal   #theology #anglicanchurch #holysp...

The Twenty-First Sunday after Pentecost.  Why do bad things happen to good people? The answer remains a mystery to us. Reflecting on the story of Job and on Jesus' words from the cross, we can begin to make some sense of how God is tied up in our suffering.

The Twentieth Sunday after Pentecost.  Are there things you're clinging to? Your social status, wealth, looks, or job? Jesus' challenge to a young man to sell all his possessions sounds shocking but it may mean the beginning of a new transformation for him.

The Nineteenth Sunday after Pentecost.  Various religious institutions have set boundaries around if and when divorce is acceptable. However, doing so ignores just how complex these decisions are for those who have to make them.
