St Mary's Episcopal Church

About this church

St. Mary's Episcopal Church in Goochland, on the outskirts of Richmond, gathers for worship on Sundays following the Book of Common Prayer. From September through May, Holy Eucharist Rite I is offered at 9 a.m. in the original smaller sanctuary, and Holy Eucharist or Morning Prayer follows at 11 a.m. in the larger church. A single 10 a.m. service replaces these from Memorial Day through Labor Day weekend. A monthly informal family worship service with a potluck supper in the parish hall is held at 5 p.m. during the program year. Midweek, Holy Eucharist with prayers for healing meets at noon on Wednesdays, and a centering prayer group gathers on Thursday afternoons. Confirm seasonal times on the website before visiting.

Children's ministry includes a nursery for infants through age four, Sunday School for four-year-olds through fifth graders, a Children's Chapel during the service, and a summer Vacation Bible School. Youth in grades 6 through 12 have a youth group, a monthly Bible study, service projects, and a confirmation class for eighth graders and older. Adults can take part in formation classes, outreach, pastoral care, and fellowship events, or serve as acolytes, readers, ushers, and members of the Altar Guild. The campus includes a churchyard and an Episcopal school, and past sermons are posted online.
