The Episcopal Church welcomes You!

Please join us for services in this Historic Chapel.

Grace Chapel Lane, Rockville, SC  29487

Other services at Grace Chapel as announced.

*Beginning Monday, November 13.

For those who enjoy both walking and contemplating, we invite you to join the Vicar for SAUNTERING PRAYER at St. John’s during the months of November and December.  We will gather on the front steps of the church.

Why the tern “saunter”?  Henry David Thoreau wrote that he had few who understood the art of walking – “who had a genius, so to speak, for SAUNTERING” – a word, the origin of which goes back to the Middle Ages, to describe those who went around the countryside saying they were headed to the Sainte-Terre-the Holy Land.  Such persons are to be know as “Saunterers.”  Thoreau went on to write that he could not preserve his health or spirits unless he spent hours each day “sauntering through the woods and over the hills and fields.”  John Muir mused that the mountains of America are “our Holy Land, and we ought to saunter through them reverently.”

We are a parish of the storied and ecologically rich Sea Islands.  We are also pilgrims on a journey.  Join us as we saunter about our parish grounds and to the Angel Oak and back again, praying as we go – for the Holy Land and all the earth and sea and sky – and all creatures of God that dwell therein.

Yours,

Callie

Weekly Eucharist every Tuesday at Noon in the church.
