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.

A Prayer for Change


The Women’s Prayer Circle, St. John’s Episcopal Church, North Guilford, developed A Prayer for Change.

Their hope is that as more people and churches use and share it, the prayer creates an energy that will be a force for loving change.

“Loving God, You have made the whole of human life in your image;
“Each one of us shaped in love.
“Your goodness is ever-present within us all.
“But there is so much evil and pain in our world, it comes at us from every direction.
“Teach us how to rediscover Your love within us, to use that love as a force for good.
“Help us to turn our hearts toward the world in hope, praying for each other, regarding each other as treasure.
“Join us all together in prayer, that we might be the light which darkness can never overcome.
Amen
