St. Mark's New Canaan

The Third Sunday after Pentecost. 
The Bible is filled with examples of fatherhood, both good and bad. Jesus' relationship with God as Father helps us understand what it means for us to know God in this way and how this relationship can form father figures today.

The Second Sunday after Pentecost. 
Many people remember Jesus' command to love our neighbors. But with all the pressure to constantly be better and do more, are we forgetting to love ourselves?

The First Sunday after Pentecost: Trinity Sunday. 
It can be challenging to understand the relationships in the doctrine of the Trinity and how they shape one another. Surprisingly, the Roy family from "Succession" and a breed of Indonesian monkeys provide some helpful insights into how relationships, especially our own, are shaped.

The Feast of Pentecost. 
How can we tell when we're experiencing the Spirit at work in us and not just a rush of emotions? What does Scripture point out about how the Spirit helps us move against culture and changes the way we see?

The Seventh Sunday of Easter. 
Jesus taught his disciples the Lord's Prayer, but this is the real prayer between him and God. Where do we see it reflected in the Lord's Prayer and how can it help us experience a divine indwelling?

What if our definitions of God aren't nearly big enough? If God is love, maybe our definitions of love are too small as well. So what are we to do with this overflow of love? Share it!

The Sixth Sunday of Easter. 
It seems like being a Christian would be easier if Jesus were physically with us today, teaching and inspiring. He told his disciples how the Spirit would work through all of them when he was gone, and recent events in New Canaan certainly showed how active that Spirit still is.

The Fifth Sunday of Easter. 

In Jesus' final words to his disciples, his farewell discourse, he tells them he is the way, the truth, and the life. If we back up a little, we see these words aren't meant to exclude others but bring comfort in the midst of their uncertainty. He is calling them, and us, to be companions on the way, truth, and life of love.

The Fourth Sunday of Easter. 
We encounter numerous doors every day. But what does Jesus mean when he says, "I am the door" and what do we find when we decide to enter into a life with him?

The Third Sunday of Easter. 
How have humans become one of the biggest threats to our planet and why have so many stopped caring? Maybe the thing we're missing most is a sense of awe for the natural world.
