We had 36 at our service which is lower than normal with people away. Other visitors included the 17 year old cicadas as well other critters – ants and spiders. More pleasing were the line of small yellow wildflowers in front of the church and in the graveyard and the geraniums in the church window sills. The weather was somewhat dull until the end of the service when the sun shone through but also which raised the humidity. Most of those who came did wear red to symbolize the holy fire coming down to the disciplines on that memorable Pentecost. Geraniums lined the windows and was a symbol for the day
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.
