Please join us for a service of Morning Prayer for the 20th Sunday after Pentecost, with Josette Keelor as officiant and homilist.

Our LIVE service begins at 11:30 a.m.  Thanks be to God for declining COVID-19 transmission rates in Clarke County, where hospitalizations and deaths continue to remain low.  Because of this masks are now optional for in-person worship, but are still available in the Narthex, with hand sanitizer stationed throughout the church.


If you are more comfortable continuing to keep your distance, we understand. 

You can still join us for online worship, via Zoom, using the following link:

 For the Beauty of the Earth:  We give you thanks, most gracious God, for the beauty of earth and sky and sea; for the richness of mountains, plains, and rivers; for the songs of birds and the loveliness of flowers. We praise you for these good gifts, and pray that we may safeguard them for our posterity. Grant that we may continue to grow in our grateful enjoyment of your abundant creation, to the honor and glory of your Name, now and for ever.  Amen.
