Think your child or grandchild might like to join in the fun? Get them registered for the Realm easily using this form. Want to participate but don't have Minecraft yet? You can request a free copy right here. Questions? Just ask Aaron Davis.

Women’s History Month at ECM
On Friday March 13, 2021 at 2:00 pm instead of our regular healing service, we will honor the life of The Right Rev. Barbara Harris, the first Female Bishop consecrated in the Episcopal Church. Bishop Harris died on March 13, 2020 right as the pandemic was beginning and we will remember her with prayers and intercessions as have been written by her Diocese of Massachusetts. In honor of her life and ministry we are raising up voices of women in the church. There are 5 orders of ministers in the church - laity, deacons, priests, bishops and the presiding bishop. During the week of March 15-20 we will share 5 sermons from women in all the orders. Listen to these sermons and celebrate the voices of women being heard in the church. Women were the first to proclaim the resurrection- let us continue to listen for their proclamations in 2021 and beyond. You can follow along on Instagram or the ECM at VCU Facebook page.
