MINISTRIES


MARY'S TABLE

Mary's Table is a fellowship, parish-wide potluck dinner hosted periodically throughout the year by a different person or couple. It is a time during which parishioners are invited to join in fellowship and just simply enjoy one another's company. And---more often than not---the "potluck" aspect of the dinner becomes gourmet! Dates and times for dinner are set by the hosts.

Volunteer Opportunities:
Mary's Table is a great way to engage in radical hospitality by inviting fellow parishioners into your home. It is also a wonderful mixer for Newcomers!

 

CATECHESIS OF THE GOOD SHEPHERD

The Catechesis of the Good Shepherd (CGS) is a Montessori based Christian formation program that nurtures the spiritual needs of children ages 3-14. CGS allows each child to move at their own pace through age-appropriate themes from the Bible and liturgy.  The beautiful handmade materials allow the child an opportunity to meditate on the mysteries of the Christian faith.  The place where the children meet is called an atrium.  It is a sacred space rather than a classroom.  The atrium is much quieter than other Sunday School rooms.  It is more like a chapel.  At St. Mary’s all our children meet together in the same atrium.  Different materials are available to meet the developmental needs of all ages.  The atrium is located next to the Church office and is in session Sundays from 9:45 – 11:15 am.  All are welcome. For more information, see Margaret Schaefer

 

DAUGHTERS OF THE KING

The Order of the Daughters of the King (DOK) is a spiritual sisterhood of women dedicated to a life of Prayer, Service and Evangelism. We have made a commitment to Jesus as our Savior, and we follow Him as Lord of our lives. We are an Order for women who are communicants of the Episcopal Church, churches in communion with it, or churches in the Historic Episcopate. Today our membership includes women in the Anglican, Episcopal, Lutheran (ELCA) and Roman Catholic churches. The vision statement for the DOK is as follows: Empowered by the Holy Spirit, our vision as Daughters of the King is to know Jesus Christ, to make Him known to others, and to become reflections of God's love throughout the world. The St. Mary’s-Blair chapter is the "Heirs of Grace." 

DOK meets the 2nd Wednesday of the month at 2:00 PM in the library and via Zoom. If you are interested in learning more about DOK, please see Nan Smutko or Mother Kim

COMMUNITY OUTREACH

The community outreach ministry is one of great importance. We have structured a team to go out into the community and server in various areas. If you have something to offer we would love to use the gifts that God has given you. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out to St. Mary's.
