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.

Veteran’s Sunday, Nov. 11, 2012

Veterans’ Day was on Sunday in 2012. We invited veterans up to the front to list their years of service. We held a prayer chain or enveloping prayer around Alexander before he departs again to Afghanistan. Finally, we had a special litany for the day.

ECW walks the labyrinth

Fall, 2012 Comes to Port Royal

A series of shots in and around Port Royal in Oct., 2012. Fall came in waves – first those leaves that immediately turned brown, those that turned color and those that didn’t turn until Nov. (many maples).

Shrinemont 2016

We had a split congregation – 9 were at Shrine Mont, including Catherine in our retreat in collaboration with Christ Episcopal. This is the 3rd year we have done this

19 from St. Peter’s(9) and Christ Episcopal (10) joined up for the 3rd year in a Shrine Mont retreat which typically has been the last weekend in April or first in May . Catherine designed the program around the 2007 movie Lars and the Real Girl, the story of a shy young man in search for a real relationship and staring Ryan Gosling. The weekend was rainy but the Fisher family managed to make it up North Mountain. The weather was satisfactory for worship in the Shrine on Sunday with a sermon provided by Jeff Packard.
