NC Men's Club
2025-02-28 09:00 - 11:30, 2025-03-07 09:00 - 11:30 (America/New_York)
The New Canaan Men’s Club was founded in 1977 by a group of men who met regularly at the Y to play racquetball.
While we have grown quite a bit since then, friendship and fellowship remain core to our Club. We meet on Friday mornings in Morrill Hall at St. Mark’s Episcopal Church, but we are both nonreligious and nonpartisan.
Our Members come from New Canaan and surrounding communities. They bring diverse experiences from their careers, talents, travels, and lives. What brings us together is the variety of activities and interests Club Members share. Explore our website and calendar to see the many and varied activities that are available to all Members. Each Friday meeting has a speaker covering an interesting and often timely topic so we are constantly learning

St. Mark’s Choir Rehearsal
2025-03-06 19:00 - 20:45
Sing with the St. Mark’s Choir!
Singers are needed in all sections for this diverse, enthusiastic, and dedicated group, essential to the beauty and spiritual depth of sung services. We sing music from all periods, perform extended works in concert, and offer Evensong and the Service of Nine Lessons and Carols each season. With the help of our newly-formed Friends of Music at St. Mark’s, we plan to add a gala concert accompanied by an instrumental ensemble this year. It is our “care and delight” to sing every Sunday (September through early June/Trinity Sunday) and for all major holidays of the church year.
If you love to sing, have some sight-reading ability, and would enjoy this labor of love with a wonderful group of people, please contact our Director of Music Ministry, Ned Tipton at

Virtual Pilgrimage to Jerusalem (lunch included)
2025-03-07 10:00 - 16:00
Deepen your Lenten experience by participating in a virtual pilgrimage to Jerusalem. Led by Christian tour guide Canon Iyad Qumri from Jerusalem, this event will be hosted by St. Mark’s.
Your day will begin with a video welcome to Jerusalem from Archbishop Hosam Naoum, as he would if you were visiting the Cathedral Close in person. Another video will give you a tour of the entire Cathedral Close, including the guesthouse where you might stay on
pilgrimage—a guestroom, the gardens, and the dining and meeting rooms. From there, you will tour the Old City of Jerusalem including the famous gates, the Cardo, the Western Wall, the Temple Mount, and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. As you progress on this journey, you will be given time to pause, reflect, meditate, and pray as you walk in the footsteps of and learn more about the ministry of Jesus. Your day will conclude “walking” the Via Dolorosa, praying the Stations of the Cross.
This workshop is geared toward those who want to learn about pilgrimages to the Holy Land, as well as those who have been on pilgrimage but want a refresher and/or an opportunity to reunite with fellow pilgrims. It will be especially rewarding for anyone who would like to go on pilgrimage but cannot afford the time or expense of a full trip.
Check-in will begin at 9:30 AM, with the program starting at 10AM and ending at 4PM. Registration fee is $25, which includes a Mediterranean lunch. All are welcome. You can register online.

High School Youth Group

Youth Group Gatherings (Sundays following the 5pm service): Our regular youth group meetings this year will be relaxed, come-as-you-are gatherings with check-in (highs and lows), prayer, food, and discussion sparked by something shared by someone in the group (i.e., I might show a clip from a movie that resonates with me). If time allows, we’ll also play games like foosball or cards. Visit the High School page on the website to learn more.
