Father Dave's Schedule

The Reverend J. David Else will celebrate Holy Eucharist at 9:00 a.m. on Sunday, March 21, 2010.  Father Dave's most recent sermon can be found by clicking the link listed on the menu at the upper left hand corner of this page.

Porch Damage

The porch which serves as the main entrance to the church has been damaged by the freezing and thawing associated with this winter's severe weather.  The deterioration has caused leakage into the section of the kitchen that lies beneath the porch.  Consequently, the porch will be covered and closed until completion of the necessary repairs.  Please enter the church using either the bell tower entrance or the entrance near the church office.  

Haiti Relief

We extend sincere appreciation to the parishioners who contributed to the Haiti Relief Fund.  If you haven't contributed and would like to do so, please make your check payable to "Episcopal Relief and Development" with the notation "Haiti Relief Fund" and mail it to Episcopal Relief & Development, P.O. Box 7058, Merrifield, VA 22116-7058.
