Our mission is to invite disconnected people into a family that follows Jesus, is formed by Jesus, and overflows with the love of Jesus—and this event was a beautiful expression of that overflowing love in action!

This year Corpus Christi Anglican Church (Franconia, VA) held our third annual pool party at one of our member's community pools. We had our best turnout in the last three years (and the weather was amazing).

This July marked one year since St. Andrew’s began meeting weekly in Frederick with our church planter on the ground. We give thanks for His provision and for your faithful prayers!

On Sunday, March 16, St. Andrew's celebrated the Feast of St. Patrick with a fellowship meal after our service.

All ages at Corpus Christi in Springfield, VA, together focus on fasting, almsgiving, and prayer this Lent.

As we enter into Lent 2025, I want to encourage us to keep our rhythms of daily prayer using the Book of Common Prayer. And, I want to encourage us this Lent to return often to the beautiful and challenging Confession and Litany of Penitence that we pray during Ash Wednesday.

That’s the invitation for this Lenten season: to turn from sin, and prepare with joy for the resurrection season. It’s an invitation to forty days of intentional reorientation together in response to the grace of God found in Christ Jesus our Lord and empowered by his Holy Spirit.

Simeon's prophecy about Christ's light going to the Gentiles is tethered to a prophecy about the pain that the Blessed Virgin Mary will experience in her son's life and ministry.

Frankly, I think this is actually great discipleship strategy. As Christians we trust Jesus, the author, pioneer and finisher of our faith, who goes ahead of us and calls us to follow him into a future that is totally secure and yet which can sometimes (often?) feel disorienting. With joy and a twinkle in his eyes, I can envision our Lord saying, “Come follow me - turn and face the strange…"

In December Christ the Redeemer enjoyed a Carols and Cookies service.

Church planting is a synergistic effort—a collaboration between our diocesan congregations and the diocese itself. This partnership beautifully balances our commitment to congregationally led ministry with the shared mission to expand God’s kingdom.

So, a heartfelt thank you for your prayers, generosity, and dedication. Please continue to pray for this vital work, and I look forward to sharing new stories of church planting in the year ahead!

New Spaces and New Faces in Chambersburg

Multiple generations of from Corpus Christi Anglican Church served their neighbors experiencing housing insecurity.

This Friendsgiving provided a gathering for the church family, local college students, and neighbors who might otherwise spend the holidays alone.

This year our older youth led an outreach event where we sold Christmas trees to give a percentage of the sales to the Ecumenical Community Housing Organization (ECHO).
