“Rise in the Power of the Spirit, Walk in Grace”

A Call for Justice, Healing, and Hope

Join us for our Annual Absalom Jones Celebration, a sacred gathering honoring the life, legacy, and witness of the Rev. Absalom Jones—the first Black priest in the Episcopal Church.

Event Details

Holy Eucharist: 10:30 AM
We are honored to welcome The Rev. Dr. Mauricio J. Wilson, National President of the Union of Black Episcopalians, as our Guest Preacher.

Lunch & Community Discussion: Immediately following the service
Participants are invited to remain for fellowship and a guided conversation reflecting on the theme “Rise in the Power of the Spirit, Walk in Grace,” exploring its call to justice, healing, and hope in our time.

Supporting the Next Generation

As in years past, all proceeds will benefit scholarship support for students attending the two Historic Black Episcopal Colleges:
