We’ll begin a series exploring prayer and worship. A core element of Episcopal theology is Lex Orandi, Lex Credendi—what we pray, we believe. What are ways we approach prayer as individuals and as a community and how do they impact our relationship with God?

SPECIAL NOTE: Please join us in the Community Room at 9:15 am on Kickoff Sunday, September 13 for a conversation about the year ahead in Adult Forum.

The Book of Judges is a fascinating and sometimes challenging collection of stories of the individuals God calls to lead the people of Israel in difficult times between the end of the Exodus and the anointing of the first kings of Israel.

For four weeks, we’ll look at these remarkable individuals and what we can learn from their stories. Following this, we’ll explore the Gospel of Mark together.

Ready to kick off the new school year with the biggest splash possible? We are joining forces with the crews from The Falls Church, St. Mary’s, and St. Peter’s for an epic day of floating, laughing, and chilling down the river in Front Royal!

Think massive tube trains, beautiful sunshine, and hanging out with other youth from the area. You definitely do not want to miss the first big event of the year.
