We are a small Episcopal Church on the banks of the Rappahannock in Port Royal, Virginia.

Our mission statement is to do God’s Will in all that we do.

In addition she provided a tangible gift to all in the service -a votive candle made from old candles burned at St. Peter’s. It took most of the week to get the process down.
