While school is virtual, Immanuel Anglican Church is continuing food distribution each week at Coles Elementary. Thanks to generous donations over 1,500 bags of weekend meals have been distributed since March.

America, a religious nation, has had throughout our history a type of intellectual leader that has been termed the public theologian. Henry Ward Beecher, the Niebuhrs, Billy Graham, and Fr. Richard Neuhaus are among the most prominent examples. Now, Wheaton professor Esau McCauley is using his broad pulpit to call American Christians back to their religious ideals, the lived experiences of the Black church, and a full recognition of the Black church in our history.

Church of the Epiphany made sure to bring extra joy with their “Back to School” night in the church parking lot. Enjoy photos of socially-distanced games and fun!

New challenges, a pandemic, a major flood, a “Where’s Waldo” Vicar, and outreach challenges… 2020 has been an interesting year for the Anglican Church of the Valley in Staunton.

In these confusing and uncertain times, it is more important than ever that we be pointing our kids and their families to the truth of God’s love, provision, and faithfulness.

The Falls Church Forum is kicking back up with two events this fall, one on September 20 with Dr. George Yancey, and another on October 18 with Dr. Alan Jacobs.

This is an amazing moment, with extraordinary opportunities. A pause in the rush of modern life to take stock. To evaluate where we are. A chance to examine our ‘burnt offerings’ and think about how to deepen our vision of worship in this season.

This summer, Church of the Apostles youth group leaders initiated their first Summer Book Club, which met on Zoom for four weeks while reading C.S. Lewis's Mere Christianity. Here are three ways all our participants benefitted from the experience!

For the month of August, I issued a fun Bible Challenge to our Sunday School group: Read one chapter from the book of Matthew each day, and win a gift certificate to Sweet Frog!

As the summer winds down and college students head back to their campuses, many students will be reflecting on their summers and how different they were from what they expected. For many, the primary reason for this was Covid-19. But, for eight of them, the reason will be very different. These were the eight young adults that spent their summer ministering in their congregations as interns. This is a summer they will long remember and may possibly be one that changes the course of their lives.

In light of the tensions in our society regarding race relations, in his address to the Provincial Council, Archbishop Beach called for a Working Group on Race, Racism, and Racial Reconciliation. This group is comprised of leaders from across the Anglican Church in North America representing a diverse range of races, ethnicities, ages, orders, and both genders.

When Jesus builds the church, it is never closed, and His kingdom will never be stopped. This theme was preached last Sunday and was put on display in the turnout of people who came to worship at the very first pre-launch Eucharist service at the Franconia-Springfield Mission. I'm pretty sure they were smiling because of their eyes, but everyone was wearing masks when they arrived!

For many years, Truro has welcomed Seniors to our campus for a Friday lunch get-together. When those gatherings came to a halt in March, the ministry quickly pivoted to offer a weekly phone gathering as a way to keep this community connected.

I’ve returned home with renewed gratitude for all that we receive from one another in our Church. Would you join me in thanking God for these strong partnerships in the Gospel which he so graciously gives us?

On Saturday, Nov 21, 2020, the official business of Synod 2020 will be held virtually.
