You are warmly invited to join us to worship on the Sunday after the Ascension at 11:00 am on May 17!

In May, we began a new Christian Ed. series through St. Paul’s epistle to the Philippians led by Fr. Damien! Join us as we learn to walk together in the joy of the Lord on Sundays at 10:00 am downstairs in the undercroft.

The Collect

O GOD, the King of glory, who hast exalted thine only Son Jesus Christ with great triumph unto thy kingdom in heaven; We beseech thee, leave us not comfortless; but send to us thine Holy Ghost to comfort us, and exalt us unto the same place whither our Saviour Christ is gone before, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the same Holy Ghost, one God, world without end. AMEN.

The Epistle. I St. Peter iv. 7.

THE end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer. And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins. Use hospitality one to another without grudging. As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

The Gospel. St. John xv. 26 and part of Chap. xvi.

WHEN the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me: And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning.These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended. They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service. And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me. But these things have I told you, that when the time shall come, ye may remember that I told you of them.

A house of prayer. Faithful to the word of Christ. 
A place of hope for our community.

St. Paul’s is a traditional Anglican church, serving the greater Lexington, Virginia area. As a community of Christians we invite you to join us as we follow in the footsteps of Christ, through repentance and faith, with joy and gladness. Come and rejoice with us in “the beauty of holiness” (Ps. 96) and help us as we minister to our community in the name of Christ. We have services of worship every Sunday morning using the Bible and the traditional Book of Common Prayer (1928) as our order of worship and rule of prayer.

If you are in Lexington, Rockbridge County, or the surrounding area, please come and visit us! And feel free to walk in to any of our worship services.
