A Welcome from the Vicar
by The Rev. Lang Lowrey
Welcome to St. Benedict's Episcopal Church!
On behalf of Bishop J. Neil Alexander (welcome letter) and the Episcopal Diocese of Atlanta, I would like to introduce to you St. Benedict's Episcopal Church the most recent church in our diocese of 95 churches now being planted in New Vinings/Smyrna, Georgia. (church planting information letter)
Our purpose in establishing St. Benedict's is to create a vibrant community of worshipers who share a common goal of forging a closer relationship with Jesus Christ. As a reflection of our namesake, St. Benedict, we are founded on a belief in the traditional liturgy of the church coupled with the need to develop contemporary relationships that recognize the real-world challenges inherent in today's society. Our mission statement reflects these core beliefs:
The mission of St. Benedict's Episcopal Church is to come together as a community to grow in faith and share Christ's love with an ever-changing world.
I would like to invite you to join the effort to plant a new church, day school, pastoral counseling/spiritual direction center and fellowship hall in the New Vinings area. Please contact me (ext. 4301) orPatty Jones (ext. 4302) to discuss this invitation.
I look forward to becoming a part of the Vinings community and hope you will join us on this exciting journey as we seek to Grow in Faith together!
Peace,
Lang+
