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.
This Sunday, all youth are welcome to our Seekers monthly meeting, where we'll be having make-your-own-pizzas at 5pm in the Parish Hall at St. Matthew's. Please join us! ... See MoreSee Less
