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.

    • The Book of Psalms is generally believed to be the most widely read and the most highly treasured of all the books in the Old Testament. It is a collection of poems, hymns, and prayers that express the religious feelings of Jews throughout the various periods of their national history. The Psalms contain wisdom that is eternal. “ “Trust in the Lord, and do good; so you will live in the land, and enjoy security. Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.” -Psalm 37:3,4. There are 5 ideas in this one passage that will help you lead a productive life.

    • The choir was back this week and sang the offertory “All Things Wise and Wonderful.” We had 31 including 2 visitors.

    The Season of Creation was sprinkled throughout the service from the Scottish Blessing to the Collect which was a Creation Collect, the Affirmation “preserve God’s creation for prosperity”, the Prayers of the People “We pray for the earth. As you seek out those who are lost, give us the grace to seek out what has been lost on this earth due to our greed and negligence” and Tom’s sermon.
