Mt. Kisco Church Hosts Holiday Bazaar, Gospel Concert

MOUNT KISCO, NY — Saint Francis African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Zion Church will host two fun-filled events this December. The first is a holiday bazaar from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday. The second is a
gospel music performance, called “Christ as Concert,” at 7 p.m. Dec. 8.

Just some of the items that will be on hand at the holiday bazaar are baked goods, candles, plants, and handcrafted jewelry and pocketbooks created by local vendors. The event is open to the public. Lunch will be available for purchase.

“The bazaar offers local shoppers gifts at lower prices than in stores so that Christmas giving can be a blessing,” said Saint Francis AME Zion Pastor Marva Dolphin. “We’re opening our doors to the community to say come on in."

The musical concert will showcase singer Gladys Mitchell and keyboardist Dhar Bryant. Ms. Mitchell is a cast member of ALIVE! 55 and Kickin,’ a celebration of a generation in song featuring performers 55 and over.

Tickets for Christ as Concert can be purchased for $20 per person through Eventbrite.

“As the oldest African-American church in Mount Kisco, we have a rich history at Saint Francis AME Zion,” adds Pastor Dolphin. “We want to serve as a respite for the community. We want to provide recreational and educational space, where people can put aside the worries of life when they are with us. These fundraisers will help the church fulfill its vision.”
