Pastoral Care

Life is never without challenges, but they are easier to bear with the support of a community. Our clergy welcome your questions and concerns and are always willing to spending time with you in times of challenge and crisis. Please contact the Rev. Amy Slater if you or a loved one is in the hospital. We also have Eucharistic visitors who bring communion to those who are unable to attend the Sunday worship service. Flowers and prayer shawls and the love of the congregation are also sent to those in need of care.

For more information, contact The Rev. Amy Slater ([email protected])

Healing Prayer Ministry

Trained healing prayer ministers offer healing prayer for anyone interested in physical, emotional or spiritual healing. Healing prayer is offered as needed, but also on a regular basis on the 4th Sunday of each month after both services. Beginning this month Feb. 2020, Healing Prayer will be held in the Nursery room of the Parish hall on the 4th Sunday.

Bereavement Committee

The Bereavement committee serves to care for our church families who desire to have a reception in the parish hall after a funeral or memorial service. They call upon members to help in the preparation, serving, and clean-up.

Eucharistic Visitors

Licensed lay ministers take communion to homebound or hospitalized members, also offering support and encouragement. These visits allow those members to be in communion with their Parish family.

Prayer Shawl

The Prayer Shawl ministry knits prayer shawls that are blessed by the priest. Shawls are given to people in the hospital, nursing homes or other needs that show our parish families warmth. If you need a prayer shawl, contact the church office or Mother Amy. Shawls are also available in the back of the church for Sundays when you need extra warmth or just need to feel the love of your Parish family. These shawls may also be taken home, but please let the office know if you do so.

Card Ministry

The Card Ministry led by Pat Watson and others, send cards of celebration and on other occasions. Pat prays over the cards before they are sent and says she loves being able to be a part of the church in this way.

Home Meals

Home meals are provided by our ministries and neighborhood groups for those who are ill or at other times of need. Contact the office, if you need meals or know of a parishioner who does. These Ministry groups are open to all members of St Mary’s. If you feel called to serve on one or just want more information, please contact Mother Amy, any of the other clergy, or the church office.

Welcome First Visit Children Covid-19 Regathering Protocols Joining St. Mary's

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!

If you have YOUNG PEOPLE, they are welcome! Young people are an integral part of our life together at St. Mary's. They aren't just the future of the church, they are the church today!

Saturday Family Service at 5:00 p.m.
Held the fourth Saturday of the month

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.”
