Snowy Weekend - Sunday, January 25

Dear St Mary's Family, With the impending weather, I wanted to tell you what will happen on Sunday. Since I live right next door, I will be here to conduct services. However, if the roads are bad, or if you can't get out of your driveway, or if you are uncomfortable about the snow, stay home where it's safe and warm. Even if you are scheduled to serve, don't worry about it. We can adapt on the fly so no need to let me know or ask for a sub. I'll just assume that if you'r

Our Story:

St. Mary's has been on the corner of Lancaster and Louella Avenue for over a hundred and thirty years. St. Mary’s and the village of Wayne grew up together. If you like, you can find a historical account of that growth HERE, but please know, our focus is not on our past, but rather it is on the church of the 21st century.

As an Episcopal Church, we love our liturgy. We will pray and sing and learn together through liturgy that honors God and feeds our soul. When you come visit, we will welcome you with open arms. As we grow in our relationship, we will hold your hand and cry with you if you are sick or distressed, and we will rejoice with you as you celebrate life's milestones. We will challenge you to learn more about God and how God will reconcile the world back unto himself. And we will prepare you to go out into the world and proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ.
