St. John’s: 9 AM, Rite II
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 anticipation is over; Nourishing Neighbors is back and ready to serve our communities!🍅🫱🏼🫲🏻
Kicking off next week, there will be weekly free fresh produce and resource exchanges coming to a community near you! We have teamed with Garrett Growers again to bring fresh, local, nutritious produce to you. We are servicing both Garrett and Allegany Counties through the summer and early fall. The fresh produce box supply is limited and is available on a first come, first served basis. In order to receive a free fresh produce box, participants will be asked to complete a screener.
Exchanges begin at 10 a.m. and end at 1 p.m. or until produce boxes run out. We are excited for the upcoming season of Nourishing Neighbors and can't wait to see you there!😄🫑🥕🥒 ... See MoreSee Less

🌈 Happy Pride Month! 🌈
This June, we joyfully celebrate the beautiful diversity of God’s creation and honor the LGBTQ+ community—beloved, affirmed, and made in God’s image.
For decades, LGBTQ+ Episcopalians and allies have worked to make The Episcopal Church a place of belonging and inclusion. We have prayed, studied, and discerned, and in doing so, we have seen the evidence of God’s blessing in the lives and love of our LGBTQ+ siblings in Christ.
We celebrate and give thanks for the beauty, strength, and sacred worth of LGBTQ+ leaders across all contexts and callings.
We invite you to join us on the journey. You belong.
🏳️🌈 You are beloved.
🏳️⚧️ You belong.
✝️ No exceptions.
