Children’s Bulletins for May 24 are now available for you to download from the online resources page of our website!

Boys Home Quilt Raffle : As you may know, each year we host a quilt raffle as part of our spring fundraising activities. This year's quilt is a beautiful “Walk About” pattern by Anne Lauer for Grizzly Gulch Gallery in a black, green and purple color scheme. It measures 84" x 105" and fits a queen-sized bed. Phyllis Gibson makes and donates a different quilt each year. She is the sister of our executive director, Donnie Wheatley. Her craftsmanship is wonderful, and we are very thankful to her for the donation of such a magnificent piece. Unfortunately, due to the COVID-19 issue we have not been able to have our flyers out in the community as much as normal. If you haven't taken a chance on this quilt and would like to, please print off the ticket and return it to 414 Boys Home Road, Covington, VA 24426 or give Melinda a call at 540-965-7707 . We will be drawing for a winner on Friday, June 5th, and tickets are $5.00 each or 10 for $45.00. Your donation helps provide education, housing, and basic living expenses for young men whose lives have been impacted by poverty or family instability.Together, we can give each boy at Boys Home a second chance at success!
Sunday Online Worship and Fellowship
Sunday Morning Worship at 9:15 a.m.: Look for links in your email to join us each Sunday morning for our liturgies that include the Liturgy of the Word, Sermon, Organ Voluntaries, Hymns, and Prayers. We will share a service of Spiritual Communion on June 14.

Sunday Children’s Chapel (ages 4-10): Pattie Ames, our Diocesan Christian Formation Missioner, will lead a virtual Children’s Chapel every Sunday in the Easter season from 8:45 a.m. - 9:00 a.m. This will be a live and interactive time where children will hear a story, talk about it, and have activities and prayers together. It will be a fun and creative way for children to experience the Bible stories. Children must be online with a parent and please mute yourselves as you enter our online chapel. Pattie will give parents direction about when to unmute, so the children can participate.
