We will have breakfast at Manakin at 8:30 a.m. and then depart to our designated missions, including Shalom Farms, Powhatan County Library, Habitat for Humanity and the Food Pantry. Additional activities will include making fleece blankets for Powhatan Animal Control and conducting a roadside cleanup along 711 / Huguenot Trail (for ages 18+). After a fulfilling morning of mission, we will gather again for lunch at St. Luke’s. If you would like to participate, add your name to the sign-up sheet in Denny Hall or contact the church office.

You are invited to join us during Lent as we explore the topic, “Walking with Jesus during Holy Week.” This year’s program brings together Manakin Episcopal Church and St. Luke’s Episcopal Church, with program locations alternating between the two churches. Through presentations, we will gain an understanding of the importance of each service during Holy Week. As we journey with Christ to the cross, the meaning of the services and music will become more relevant in our growth. All the services we discuss during this program will be offered at St. Luke’s, Manakin or both during Holy Week.
The program will include daytime, online and evening options.
In addition, to support your personal practices during Lent, we share Lenten Journey 2022 booklet.

Did you know Manakin and St. Luke’s are the only Episcopal churches in Powhatan County? We want to help more people get to know us, and what better way to do so then living into our missions and serving our communities.
We are having a Day of Mission on Saturday, November 6. On that day, people of all ages from both congregations have the opportunity to participate in one of three ways:
This is a great opportunity to help the community and for us to get to know the congregants from St. Luke’s.
Those interested in participating should meet at St. Luke’s at 8:00 a.m. for coffee, muffins, prayers, and distribution of tasks. We will then go to our job sites, where we plan to volunteer from 9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. After, participants are invited back to Manakin for lunch at conversation from 12:30 – 1:00 p.m.
To take part in our Day of Mission, sign up in Denny Hall or contact the Church Office (office@manakin.org).
