Outreach | St. Mary's Episcopal Church

We love because God first loved us, so we share that love with each other. We care for members of our worshipping community and broader community in many ways.

St. Mary's offers the loose plate on the first Sunday of each month to a community, national or world organization that is in need of our support and prayers.

We work to feed people, help the homeless and support the children in our community. The three local organizations we support on an ongoing basis are The Green Cove Springs Food Pantry, The Green Cove Springs Head Start Program, and the Building of the Vineyard Transitional Center in Green Cove Spring. We also give to the Way Free Clinic and Episcopal Relief and Development.

Matthew 25:35 -36 "For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’

Welcome and thank you for visiting our St Mary’s website! We hope you will find helpful information here about our parish. We invite everyone to “Come to the River” because we believe what you will find here is a genuine welcome, a real community of people from all walks of life who come together for worship designed to empower and nurture disciples to serve the world in Jesus’ name. St. Mary’s natural setting is infused with the beauty of God’s creation, peace and renewal. So, look around our web site. Then come and join our journey of faith and see God at work in our midst on the banks of the St. John’s River in Green Cove Springs Florida.

Faithfully, The Rev. Amy A. Slater

When you come into the church, you’ll encounter steps or a ramp that will take you to the Red doors and the front porch of the church. There might be ushers, greeters and worship leaders there to welcome you and offer you a bulletin. The bulletin will help you know what’s happening in the service. As you enter the church you find yourself in our NARTHEX (that’s Episco-speak for entryway) and that is where we keep our sign-up sheets, newcomer information and where the coloring sheets for the children are located. We look forward to greeting you!

Worship Services

We often get asked how I do I “join” St. Mary’s? The short answer is: come to St. Mary’s! We welcome anyone and everyone to join us for worship on Sunday mornings or at any of our church activities. We believe that first and foremost, membership in the Church means being part of a community that is drawn ever more deeply into relationship with God and our neighbor through Jesus Christ.”
