Events
Parish Picnic at Chapultepec
Our gathering at the Timberlakes’ beautiful farm is all about reconnecting with our fellow parishioners and having fun as a new program year begins. Families of all ages are welcome, and there’s something for everyone — lawn games for all ages, a heated pool for swimming, a pond for fishing and trails for a short hike to the Rappahannock River. The church will provide the main meal and non-alcoholic beverages.
Festival Eucharist & Celebrating Graduates
Our worship at the 10:15 service on May 17 will feature service music from “Belfast Centenary Eucharist,” composed in 2004 to mark the 100th anniversary of the dedication of the Nave at St. Anne’s Cathedral in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Kristina Sheppard, the artistic director of the Valley Chorale and the director of choirs at Gainesville High School, will be the guest conductor.
We’ll also recognize our church community’s high school graduates and Saint James’ Episcopal School fifth graders, with a special Coffee Hour to follow.
Also on May 17
Café and the Campaign for Ministries — Café, our weekly buffet breakfast in the Parish Hall from 8:45 to 10 a.m. , is free for everyone on May 17. This is the last Café before it resumes in September. Please thank a Café volunteer for providing such amazing breakfasts each week this program year! Additionally, Patrick Heijmen will give a presentation during Café on the “Campaign for Ministries,” what it is, and how you can be a part of it.
Youth groups go to Carousel — As is our tradition, each youth group will walk to Carousel on May 17 for the final gathering before summer break — the ice cream is on us!
