We strive to be a welcoming and relevant Christian community doing what matters through prayer, worship, teaching, outreach, fellowship, and service.

Thank you for being grateful, responsible stewards of the gifts we receive from God.
What a blessing and honor to be stewards of what God has given to us!

Thank you for being a blessing!

Thank you from Bill McNulty
Bill McNulty would like to thank the anonymous parishioner(s) who made a blanket for his new grandson, Marcus, in Japan.
"The blanket was given to me back in like December, before he was born, and my intention was to take it with me to present it to my son and his wife in Tokyo. With the corona virus, it looks like it'll be a while before I get to Japan, so I went ahead and mailed it to them.
The picture attached is my new grandson, Marcus, enjoying his new blanket. I really want to express my gratitude to the person or persons who got it to me. My son, Liam, and his wife Tomoko also thank whoever it was that made it. They know how much I like my Resurrection family."

Most Holy God, today's readings take us from the cost of following Christ to the greatness of your love for us. Help us to remain steadfast in following you despite the challenges that call us to obedience and sacrifice. The reward is great. Jesus said so. Keep us and those we pray for in faith and love. Holy Lord, hear our prayer.
We pray for the church celebrating in every land and under every circumstance. We ask your continuing blessings on our presiding bishop Michael Curry, our bishop Robert Wright, our assisting bishop Don Wimberly, our retired bishop Neil Alexander, and our priests Scott and Sue. Bless Brandon, Mallory, Fletcher and Finley as they prepare to move to Virginia Theological Seminary this summer. Keep us mindful of continuing to support every outreach of our parish and the needs of others in these times. Holy Lord, hear our prayer.
Almighty God, we pray for our president Donald, for the leaders of the nations, and for all in authority, that they may compassionately work for justice and peace. Holy Lord, hear our prayer.
We pray for all members of our armed services, protect and defend our troops in deployments in combat zones. Pray for Reyna Cruz, Jamie Davey, Jordan Davey, Brett Turner, Jennifer Parrish, Bart Ziccardi, Robert Rish, Kayla Ziccardi, Frank Caruccio, Joseph Lorenz, Wayne Lovell, Jessica Stephens, Mitchell Stephens, Brandon Richards, Drew Camp, and Jason Gregoryk. Guide, guard and protect all law enforcement and first responders including Don Scalia. Please cover all health care workers with your blessings of protection and strength as they work to save lives including Dr. William Koeppel, Marika Csatary, JM Kidd, Chloe Gedney, Jackie Hayes, Dr. Barbara Camp, Roxanne Hall, Susie Murray, Susan Smith, and Candler Kimsey. These brave people need our prayerful support. Holy Lord, hear our prayer.
We pray that the lonely, depressed and sick will find health and wholeness in your healing presence. Pray for Carol, Helen, Kelly, Bob, Lloyd, Stephen, Gil, Jennifer, Kevin, Jackie, Kelli, Luci, Elizabeth, Jack, Sharon, Billy, Helen, Genny, Gordon, Jon, Opal, Glenda, Diane, Chris, David, Thelma, Charlene, Dennis, Lottie, Doug, and Scott. Holy Lord, hear our prayer.
Most holy God, we pray for Hannah Kidd Kogel as she awaits the birth of her child. We pray for newborns, infants, and children of all ages. Protect them from every danger and sickness. Restore all children separated from their families. Shield all children with safety, love and peace. Bless all families struggling with extra challenges during this time.Holy Lord, hear our prayer.
Compassionate God, comfort all who mourn for loved ones lost to sickness and accidents. As we recognize our own fragility, help us to realize and celebrate the sacredness of every life. Pray for all victims of the COVID-19 virus and all who mourn for them. Pray for Michael Randall. Holy Lord, hear our prayer.
Holy God, this week we will face many challenges to our faith, our love and our obedience. Faith calls us to act in love and consideration of our brothers and sisters in this time of pandemic. Obedience calls us to act wisely in our practice of social distancing. Give us grace and wisdom this week to consider the effect of our actions on all whom we encounter. Perhaps where we are is where Jesus has prepared for us in this hour - hidden in the cover of his hand and in safety. Keep us grateful and obedient. Holy Lord, hear our prayer.
Gracious God, we are joyful and thankful for these among us celebrating birthdays, including Sophie Alexander, Cynthia Kimball, Charlie Smith, Connor Schutt, and Emily Nonnemaker, and anniversaries, including Sam & Kaila Steele and Curtis & Genie Hixon. Bless their accomplishments and their plans. Give them joy as they celebrate these landmarks in their lives. Holy Lord, hear our prayer.
