We are a small Episcopal Church on the banks of the Rappahannock in Port Royal, Virginia. We acknowledge that we gather on the traditional land of the first people of Port Royal, the Nandtaughtacund, and we respect and honor with gratitude the land itself, the legacy of the ancestors, and the life of the Rappahannock Tribe. Our mission statement is to do God’s Will in all that we do.

Today, Tomorrow, and the Third Day (Luke 13: 31-35)

Today where sun rises on hills of fresh sorrow tomorrow where stars set upon fields of old pain we will do the day’s work to bring comfort and healing for this is Christ’s labour, fulfilled the third day

Today where souls suffer, despairing and fearful tomorrow where whole lives are crushed under strain we will do the day’s work to bring peace, to bring courage for this is Christ’s labour, fulfilled the third day

Today where the parched and scarred earth yields no bounty tomorrow where war-weary ground gives no grain we will do the day’s work to bring hope to the hungry for this is Christ’s labour, fulfilled the third day

Today where the foxes of evil still threaten tomorrow where tenderness so often is maimed we will do the day’s work to bring love and compassion for this is Christ’s labour, fulfilled the third day

Today where the forces of greed rule the kingdoms tomorrow where powers of death hold their sway we will do the day’s work to bring justice and caring for we are Christ’s labour, fulfilled the third day
