The Southern Shenandoah Region will host a Service of Holy Eucharist and Confirmation at Shrine Mont (at the Shrine) on Sunday, August 27, 2023, at 11 a.m., with Bishop Gayle Harris presiding and preaching.
Confirmations are a special rite in the Anglican/Episcopal tradition where individuals publicly affirm their faith and commitment to the Church. It is a significant milestone in the spiritual journey of those being confirmed.
After the service and confirmations, lunch will be served in Virginia House, offering an opportunity for fellowship and community building. It’s a time to share a meal together and enjoy each other’s company.
This promises to be a memorable occasion of worship, fellowship, and spiritual growth. The presence of Bishop Gayle Harris adds to the significance of the day, and the beautiful setting of Shrine Mont enhances the overall experience. Please plan to join us on August 27. There will be no other services that day at Saint Andrew’s or Emmanuel.
If you are interested in singing in the choir, please contact music@emmanuelharrisonburg.org.
