1st Sunday in Lent, Year A - Feb 22, 2026 Rev Sarah Colvin You can find this week's readings here . I have a self-help book from the 90s called the Pain of Being Human. It could be retitled as the Sin of Being Human because it addresses little sins or transgressions that we all face- injured pride, lack of belonging, excluding others, self-pity, etc. If we subtitled biblical texts, we could go back and subtitle this passage of Genesis as the Sin of Being Human. However, rath

We will have two Ash Wednesday services on February 18 at 12:00 PM and 7:00 PM . We begin this holy season by acknowledging our need for repentance and our need for the love and forgiveness shown to us in Jesus Christ. We invite you, therefore, in the name of Christ, to observe the beginning of a Holy Lent, by self-examination, by prayer and fasting, by practicing works of love, and by reading and reflecting on God's Holy Word. We look forward to you joining our journey this

As we process the heavy news reaching us from Minneapolis and across the country, we are reminded that our call to follow Jesus often involves risk. Our faith is not practiced in a vacuum, but on the streets where justice and mercy are most needed. The Episcopal Church and the Diocese of Virginia are calling us to transition from "watching with concern" to active witness. Please read the following statements from Bishop Stevenson and Presiding Bishop Sean Rowe regarding the e

All services and activities for tomorrow, Sunday, January 25, are CANCELLED. Given the severe forecast for this weekend, the Vestry has determined it is not safe to gather in person. Please stay safe and stay home. While we won't be in the pews, we recommend family devotions and LOTS of sledding! We would love to see how you are spending your snow day. Please send photos of your winter fun to Jessica at jgap.dennis@gmail.com or post them on our Facebook page: ASSC Facebook P

Epiphany is one of the seven principal Feast Days of the church (along with Easter, Ascension Day, Day of Pentecost, Trinity Sunday, All Saints' Day and Christmas). Most of these days fall on a Sunday. We can transfer All Saints day. Ascension Day is always on a Thursday and it is only Epiphany that is at the whim of the calendar and also not a national holiday that people have "off" from work. What I find this means is that rarely can you get people to come to church for an

We are delighted to welcome Bishop Mark Bourlakas , Assisting Bishop for Northern Virginia, who will visit us on Sunday, November 23rd .

From the moment we wake up, we are bombarded with messages to perform. Be more productive. Be more informed. Be more mindful. Be your best self. Our culture puts an incredible burden on us as individuals to fix ourselves and, somehow, to fix the world. It’s a lonely and exhausting way to live. We feel the full weight of the world’s problems on our shoulders, and can’t help but be overwhelmed by the knowledge that our individual strength is never quite enough. What if the way

17th Sunday after Pentecost - Oct 5, 2025 Rev Sarah Colvin You can find this week's readings here . Almighty and everlasting God, you are always more ready to hear than we to pray, and to give more than we either desire or deserve: Pour upon us the abundance of your mercy.  Amen. During this past week our Jewish brethren observed Yom Kippur, their day of atonement.  I remember a Jewish friend explaining that it is their very big day for confession.  Of course, our ritual prac
