Registration Open: Annual Parish Retreat

The annual parish retreat is coming up on October 10-12, 2025 at Shrine Mont, the Diocese of Virginia's conference and retreat center located in the beautiful Shenandoah mountains. 

This will be a great opportunity to connect as a congregation, enjoy comfort food, engage in prayer and discussion, and breathe in some fresh air.  There will be formation for adults, youth, and children on Saturday morning, and many other activities planned throughout the weekend. Registration is now open through July 20th. 

Register online via Realm. To learn more about Shrine Mont, you can view their website at www.shrinemont.com.

Celebrating our Graduates

The Falls Church is taking a new step to honor the amazing high school graduates. On May 31st, we will be hosting a graduation for our seniors who are graduating this spring. At 2 pm we will host a graduation ceremony in the Contemporary Church with a reception to follow. We want to invite all of you to come out to our graduation so we can celebrate the graduates. We are also looking for contributors to make the day special. Click here if you feel called to help decorate, undecorate, manage the reception, or want to donate food to the reception.

The aim is to celebrate all of the amazing things that make our seniors unique and incredible as they enter into the next chapters of their life. Please join us for this first graduation that we celebrate as a community!

Introducing a New Parent Support Group: PFLAG at The Falls Church Episcopal

At The Falls Church, we are committed to being a beacon of faith, hope, and love to all. That is why we are excited to announce the launch of a new parent support group in partnership with PFLAG, the nation's largest organization dedicated to supporting, educating, and advocating for LGBTQ+ people and those who love them.

This group offers a confidential and welcoming space for parents, caregivers, and family members of LGBTQ+ individuals to share experiences, ask questions, and find community. Whether you are just beginning your journey or have been walking alongside your loved one for years, you are welcome here. Join us as we learn, listen, and grow together in faith, hope, and love. This group will meet the second Thursday of the month from 7-8:30PM in the Parlor starting May 8th. 

If you have any questions, you can email the co-facilitators, Krista Gauthier and Ellen McClellan, at fallschurchpflag@gmail.com.
