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.

Golden Hour at St. Peter’s, Dec., 9, 2016

  St. Peter’s, Dec. 9, 2016  (full size gallery)

The hours 4pm-6pm are what I call the Golden Hours at St. Peter’s. On a sunny December day, the church is magnificent. The face of St. Peter’s is illuminated with a gradually setting sun which produces rich colors and as the sun hits the trees in the distance there are little portals of light that affect the view.  The graveyard has elongated shadows.  The colors are constantly changing during this time.  The peace and solitude are wonderful.
