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.

Lunch for the Trailer Court, July 9, 2018

We had an outreach activity at the Trailer Court on Maundy Thursday, April, 2018 where we shared pizza at lunch. We wanted to do a similar event in the summer.

On July 9, 2018, Johnny Davis, Andrea Pogue and Catherine Hicks met at the church and prepared a lunch of hotdogs, chips, cookies, water, drinks, fruit bars, apples and bananas and headed over to Liberty St, set up a table in the shade of a big tree and put the food out. (We got a head start on the hot dogs by cooking them on July 4 thanks to Ken Pogue). Before we knew it, kids came from everywhere. We had a prayer and then everyone ate lunch. We served around twenty people. Some of the kids and Catherine made house calls and delivered food to people who couldn’t come out. Everyone had a good time.

One child remembered the Maundy Thursday event. Another asked if the group could return next Monday.
