The Institution of Rector and Vestry
Please join us this Sunday for a very special service of worship and celebration. We will institute the ministry of our church as an official member of the Anglican District of VA.
Basically, we’re going to have a big party, cheer, sing, hug, give gifts, and high-five because of what God has done over the last year. We are so excited and we’d love for you to join us. Bring an appetite, a full voice, and a joyful heart.
Tell us if you’re coming! We’d love to know.
Where will the institution take place?
We love to be together and we need a space that can hold all of us, so we are renting the Hilton Arlington located at 950 N. Stafford Street Arlington, VA 22203. There will not be services on Quincy Street this week.
What time will the institution take place?
Our one service will be at 10am with a reception following. But come early because there will be coffee and pastries beforehand as well.
What should I do with my kids?
Bring them! There will be a fully-staffed nursery for all the little ones who are 2 years of age and under. Everybody else is invited to the service. We want everyone to be a part of this special day. We will have activity books for the kids. Plan on at least a 90 minute service with communion.
How should I travel to the institution?
- Metro: The hotel is located directly above the Ballston-MU stop on the Metro’s Orange Line.
- Car: There is limited, free street parking near the hotel, which is at the intersection of N. Stafford St. and Fairfax Blvd. in Ballston.

Dave…unbelievable…really encouraging to visit the website this evening and give anything to be there this Sunday….we’d celebrate with a curry at the Passage to Inda, a pint at the Black Cow, a morning ride out to Gloucester (long route catching the sunrise), a breakfast at Hendersons (man in straw hat), a pre-lunch Coffee Heath ice cream, finished by a walk on Singing Beach and a long chat with Dr. Machia…talk about restoration!…but for now we’ll settle for a shout out from across the Pond…miss you guys like crazy…

Anticipation has been building for month and we’re only a couple of days away. My folks are planning to attend. As for me, I’m pleased as punch to be nestled into this bit of God’s grand plan for this time and this place.
