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.

    EIGHT LENTEN PRACTICES
    “I invite you, therefore, in the name of the Church, to the observance of a holy Lent, by self-examination and repentance; by prayer, fasting, and self-denial; and by reading and meditating on God’s holy Word.” (Book of Common Prayer, page 265)

    What are these practices?
    1. Prayer during Lent
    2. Daily Readings
    3. Pretzels in Lent
    4. Daily Examen
    5. Express Yourself
    6. Reducing your carbon footprint
    7. Fasting and Feasting
    8. Building Happiness in Lent

    STATIONS OF THE CROSS
    The Stations of the Cross began as the practice of pious pilgrims to Jerusalem who would retrace the final journey of Jesus Christ to Calvary.
    Later, for the many who wanted to pass along the same route, but could not make the trip to Jerusalem, a practice developed that eventually took the form of the fourteen stations currently found in almost every church. Many explore the stations on Good Friday.

    3 versions of the stations
    1. VTS version – video and reflection guide
    2. Mary Peterman – paintings
    3. Creighton – Catholic version
