Sometimes an open door is all you need. You’re not looking for a church to tell you its own version of right and wrong. You’re not looking for a church that has all the answers, or a church that includes on the right kind of people.
You’re looking for a church where you can bring your doubts, your questions, and your fears, and find a welcoming, affirming, open community willing to share them. Within, you will find a quiet place for prayer and a nurturing community ready to help you find your voice and your vocation to the world in Christ’s name.
Come and see.
To keep up with all the The Episcopal Church in Garrett County is doing, Follow Us on Facebook, watch our Sunday Morning Livestreams on YouTube, and listen to daily Morning Prayer Podcasts on PodBean, or through Apple Podcasts.
The Nearly New Shop is having a bake sale on Fridays and Saturdays for an upcoming mission trip!
The bake sales are to help raise the $2,700 needed for Kendall, Margot, and Jules Ludwig to attend the week-long Diocesan Summer Service Week for high school youth and young adults in Asheville, North Carolina. The group will travel to North Carolina to help with the communities still recovering from the devastation of Hurricane Helene. The cost is $900 per person, which covers travel, room, and board.
If you wish to donate but will not be in the shop to do so, you can mail a check to The Episcopal Church in Garrett County at PO Box 303, Oakland, MD 21550, or go to our website at episcopalchurchingarrettcounty.org and click "donate now" at the top of the page to donate via PayPal. **Please note on your donation that the funds are for this trip.** The shop can also receive donations on Wednesdays, but there will not be cookies that day. The Ludwig family receives 100% of all donations.
Thank you to everyone who has supported the mission trip so far! ... See MoreSee Less
