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.

Lent at St. Peter’s 2024

Wed, Feb 14, 2024 (Ash Wednesday) – Thu, March 28, 2024 (Maundy Thursday)

“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)

The liturgical calendars for Feb. and March follow. The calendars include each day’s Forward Movement post, the Daily Office of the Episcopal church, the ERD (Episcopal Relief & Development) meditation for the day and any historical figures on the calendar. There are also links to church services and Christian Ed (Creeds).
