Spirituality, Community, Outreach
We are a growing, vibrant Episcopal church in Mechanicsville, Virginia. At All Souls, we serve as Jesus taught us. Our membership is actively engaged in the community, and in carrying out the Christian mission of God's hands on earth. We worship in the Anglican Tradition, celebrating diversity and inclusiveness, and the Spirit of fellowship that motivates and supports us to live fully into the people God has uniquely created us to be.
We worship at Messiah Lutheran Church, located at 8154 Atlee Road on Sunday mornings. We welcome you to our faith-based community. Please join us.
Meet Our New Deacon In Charge!
The Vestry is very pleased and excited to announce that Rev. Deacon Katherine G. Dougherty has accepted our call to become our Deacon in Charge. Ordained June 10 to the Transitional Diaconate by the Episcopal Diocese of Virginia, The Rev. Deacon Dougherty will be ordained to the Priesthood in early December. Katherine will be introduced to All Souls and Messiah on Sunday, July 16 at the 9:30 am Worship service.

Ordinary time can be understood in terms of the living out of Christian faith and the meaning of Christ's resurrection in ordinary life. The term "ordinary time" is not used in the Prayer Book, but the season after Pentecost can be considered ordinary time. It may be referred to as the "green season," because green is the usual liturgical color for this period of the church year. The BCP provides numbered propers with collects and lectionary readings for the Sundays of the Season after Pentecost.
Our firm belief is God is alive and working hard in our community to bring about healing. We also believe we have been called to join God in his work.
Our ministries reach into the community of All Souls as well as the broader Mechanicsville area. Our Worship ministries includes members in music, as lay readers and Eucharistic servers, altar guild, greeters, and ushers. Formation leaders work with children, youth, and adult education. Our Hospitality team provides a tremendous service to welcome all into the life of All Souls, and our Pastoral Care team provides assistance to those that need all kinds of care. Our outreach programs provide food for the hungry from our Community Garden, with the Sack Hunger Bags, and through the Caritas program with St. Anne's Catholic Church in Ashland, VA. Other outreach programs help winterize homes in November, Bless Animals in October, provide a Halloween Party for Peter Paul Development Center in Church Hill, assist with school supplies and clothing for students at J.E.B. Stuart School in Richmond, and other small deeds of kindness.
You are welcome to explore with us needs in our community, and help out any time! Thank you very much!
