Armed Forces Day will be celebrated on Saturday, May 18, 2024.

It's a day to pay special tribute to the men and women of the Armed Forces. 

Thank you to all those who serve and have served our country!

This year, the Church celebrates the Day of Pentecost on May 19, marking the end of the season of Easter. The word “Pentecost” literally means “fifty,” as it falls fifty days after Easter Day. Red is an appropriate color for Pentecost Sunday. On this day we remember the power and fire of “the Lord and Giver of Life,” who revealed himself as the promised one.

Pastor Stinnett will minister the 9:15AM Divine Worship that includes the Rite of Confirmation for three candidates. A light reception organized by the Social Board will be held after this special service in Martin Hall. Please plan to join us.

Notice of Possible Traffic Congestion.

On Sunday, May 19, there is a half marathon and 5K event at Deerfield Park, in Smithfield. This is near ORELC but Cedar Swamp and Tunmore Roads are not directly in these running loops. Both events begin around 8:00am, with the half marathon ending at 11:30am. Look for increased traffic in the vicinity of the church.

The Board of Trustees is in need of your green thumb to take care of a flower bed on the church grounds. Fresh mulch is available near garage.

Please sign up for your favorite plot to tend to in 2024!

The signup/property map is in the Narthex and needs a few volunteers!  Thank you!
