The Feasts of St. Barnabas and St. John the Baptist

Please join us for two services of Holy Communion to celebrate the Feast of St. Barnabas (Tuesday, June 17th at 6:30 p.m.) and the Feast of St. John the Baptist (Tuesday, June 24th at 6:30 p.m.) All are welcome and encouraged to attend.

An ancient crypt beneath an English church has been reopened—and inside, a mysterious message sparks a quest for three sacred masterpieces hidden within.
In Signs & Wonders, children become junior curators on a journey to seek, study, and savor the Christ-centered symbolism woven into sacred art from the Anglican tradition. As they follow a trail of clues, they’ll explore the beauty of each piece—and rediscover the treasure of the gospel along the way! Join us from July 8-10 (9 a.m. – 12 noon) at Church of our Saviour Oatlands for fun, activities, Scripture study, and snacks. 

Volunteers requested! https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C054CA9A72CA2F9C16-57225092-vbs2025

On Sunday, May 18th at 9:00 a.m., our Annual Parish Meeting will be held, and a vote to fill two vacancies on the Vestry will be taken. Voting will begin promptly at 9:00 a.m.

The vestry has established a Gardening Committee with responsibility for the plantings around the church building and their maintenance. Dean Worcester will chair this committee, and parishioners who would like to serve are asked to contact him at either (703) 909-5644 or [email protected]. 

Message from the Vestry Search Committee:

The Government of the Church of Our Saviour resides with the Vestry. It is a representative body that manages the Church’s temporal activities, business, affairs and property; it also assists the Rector as may be necessary to direct spiritual and religious affairs. The Vestry has two vacancies for the 2025-2028 term. The Search Committee members (Laurie Kelly, Lisa Young, Sean Reeves) are identifying candidates during the month of April whose names may be forwarded to the current Vestry, and ultimately to the Congregation, for consideration as future members. The next three years are important to the direction of the Church. The Vestry will be faced with discerning priorities for major financial, material, and spiritual investments that will shape our Congregation for the foreseeable future. Those who may wish to serve in this important role should contact any one of the Search Committee to express interest.

Search Committee Chairman
