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.

Shred-It, 9th year over the top!

 Shred-it, Aug 12, 2020(full size gallery)

Wow! Last year we earned the last tally for this event in 8 years at $390. We exceed that by almost 90% to $735! Tax returns, accounting records, expired documents – it all was disposed of safely, securely and fast by shredding!

Thanks to Andrea Pogue’s work over 9 years. The funds go to St. Peter’s outreach ministries. It covers several months of the Village Harvest food distribution so it is given back to the community.

This was the toughest year with the ongoing pandemic, limited time to advertise and a truck that was late. As Andrea said in her email, “It was worth the wait.” And yes it was!

Andrea originated the event 9 years ago and has developed it over the period. It is a not only a convenient way to dispose of sensitive, private documents but we find it is a great fellowship event attracting all ages. Last year it was in May but in August it was hotter but it didn’t stop the donations. Thanks to all who contributed and for Andrea’s leadership.
