New Summer Service Schedule:

At their May meeting, after discussing the struggle to find summer volunteers for worship and the usual 'summer slump' as many parishioners travel the country and spend quality time with their family/friends, the Vestry and Rev. Jill decided that we will have ONE COMBINED SERVICE beginning June 18th. But at what time?? We want to hear from you!

Vote Now!

The Top 5 Reasons for a Combined Worship Service:

5. Less time running the air conditioning means we'll cool down the space for half the time resulting in twice the savings!

4. Some of our 8:30-ers miss singing hymns.

3. Rev. Jill's first sermon is shorter and better 92% of the time!

2. We can save a lot of time only doing announcements once per Sunday.

1. We love the combined Coffee Hour - this just gives us MORE time together.

Choose our combined worship time - Vote by May 28th.

Worship Team Volunteers

This event is led by The Rev Canon Toneh Smyth, LCSW, MSW, MHS, Episcopal Diocese of Pennsylvania, Corporal Michael J. Crescenz, VA Medical Center’s clinician, and Keitha R. Beamer, MSN, APRN, PMHCNS,BC; CARN-AP.

The Ceremony provides a space to celebrate Veterans' moral sensitivity and moral seriousness, share the truth of their military experience, and initiate them in a process of transformation we call "patient to prophet." Veterans who bear moral injury are not sick people with a disorder, they are responsible moral agents who are morally-laden with an unfair burden that will only be relieved when that burden is more equitably distributed among all who own some portion of responsibility for the harmful consequences of military service. Registration is required Click Here
