Weekly Worship
WORSHIP SCHEDULE
Sundays -
During the academic year, we offer Holy Eucharist at 9:00 and 11:00 A.M. We worship at the Historic Union Church, 1004 11th Street, Port Royal. In addition, a livestreamed service is offered via a link found above and on the Worship page of this website. On Sundays during the academic year, a class is offered for children aged K-lower elementary during the 11 a.m. service. Children meet in the Center for lessons based on the scriptural readings assigned for that Sunday. This brings the lessons for parents and children together so that families may discuss and explore them as a family. Following the class, children will be escorted to church to join their parents during the Peace. A year-round nursery for infants and children through age 3 is available during the 11am service. The nursery is located in St. Mark's Center, 1110 A Paris Ave., Port Royal.

Sacramental Offerings
BAPTISM
Baptism is one of the primary sacraments of The Episcopal Church. Through full initiation by water and the Holy Spirit we become members of Christ’s body, the Church, creating a bond that is indissoluble. Baptism is appropriate for any age.
