We are a church on a mission to discover God's grace, change our lives and change the world.
GREETINGS ST. RICHARD'S COMMUNITY!
We had a very successful Zoom Happy Hour on Sunday August 2. We got to share how significantly life has changed as we continue to contend with the spread of the coronavirus. Especially impactful was hearing from Ryan Hudnall, high school history teacher, Brenda Lutter, surgery center nurse, and Tom Young, Orange County Criminal Court Judge. Ryan returned to the classroom last week and will be starting online learning with all of his students this Monday and then continuing to teach both in-person and online simultaneously at Ocoee High..
It can get lonely out there as the pandemic continues to keep us physically apart. Pastoral Care at St. Richard's wants to share an encouraging word with any who desire it! We have an active Phone Tree ministry with volunteers calling folks once every one to two weeks. Please click on the "Request a Callback Button" and email us the best number to reach you at. You will be placed on the Phone Tree and you can look forward to a call from Pastoral Care.
FLOWER DEDICATIONS
Dedicate Flowers to Your Loved Ones for just $75 at St. Richard's!
We will print the dedication in the Enews, Bulletin and it will have a special mention during online Sunday worship. Flowers can be dedicated and paid for online on our website with the "Give Online" button, or you can mail a check and dedication to the church office or drop it off.

ALEX'S EAGLE SCOUT PROJECT
Alex Downs, grandson of Tom and Bernice Downs, chose St. Richard's to receive the benefit of his Eagle Scout project. Our Pet Cemetery is located in a particularly swampy part of the property. Alex wanted to set the memory bricks for the pets interred there in such a way that they would no longer sink into the earth. So he created a beautiful stone field to contain all the bricks and he built a beautiful wooden pergola and boarder fence to set the space off making it scared and special.
Sunday at 5:00 p.m. with the Rev. Rich Wilson Join us live
