Welcome to St. Richard's Episcopal Church

*We will be hosting a drive-thru communion at 4 PM Christmas Eve, please read the following message from our beloved Bishop's Warden, Iris*

"As we come to the last days of Advent, we feel an ever-growing sense of joy and promise.  Christ reborn in our hearts and minds, fulfilling the promise of Christ coming again.  We are blessed because of our faith and pray the world sees and celebrates hope, peace, joy and love.  

Having been given permission by Bishop John Harvey Taylor and Reverend Bill Dunn, have brought back the consecrated host so that we may have what has become quite popular throughout the diocese...the drive through communion.  On Christmas Eve at 4:00 P.M., Ron Parker and Iris Walters will serve as EM's which we would normally do if we were able to meet with a priest inside the sanctuary.  We will meet you at your car, which is much like meeting you at the altar rail. If you are unable to get to the church parking lot, please let me know and we will get the host to you. 

We will maintain the safety precautions and ask that you do the same.  Ron and Iris will wear a mask, gloves, and will place the host in your hands.  We cannot approach you if you do not wear a mask.  

We have all missed worshipping together, sharing time together, but most of all we have missed being able to take communion.  We are most grateful for Bishop John and Father Bill giving us this opportunity."

 The public worship of the Episcopal Church centers on the Holy Eucharist – the service of Holy Communion.  Eucharist means “thanksgiving” and each week we give thanks and praise to God through listening to God’s Word and participating in the sacrament of Holy Communion.  In this community worship we find forgiveness, grace, healing, renewal, and strength for the journey.  All are welcome here at God’s table.
