St. John's Church

First Fruits Sunday occurs on the first Sunday of every month. On First Fruits Sunday, members are encouraged to bring non-perishable foods. These gifts are then given to Christ Ascension Episcopal Church to support its food pantry. 

Laundry Love RVA

Laundry Love RVA happens on the third Saturday of every month at Richmond Coin Laundry (2501 N. 25th Street). Laundry Love RVA assists families and individuals by paying for laundry. This allows people to repurpose funds into other areas of their lives. We serve roughly 45 people every month, washing some 100 loads of clothes each month.  

Sacred Ground is dialogue series on race, grounded in faith. Small groups are invited to walk through chapters of America’s history of race, racism, and whiteness while weaving in threads of family story, economic class, and political and regional identity. The 10-part series is built around a powerful online curriculum of documentary films and readings that focus on Indigenous, Black, Latino, and Asian/Pacific American histories as they intersect with European American histories.

Sacred Ground is a resource coming out of Becoming Beloved Community, The Episcopal Church’s long-term commitment to racial healing, reconciliation, and justice in our personal lives, our ministries, and our society. This series is especially designed to help white people talk with other white people, while being open to all racial/ethnic groups. Participants are invited to peel away the layers that have contributed to the challenges and divides of the present day – all while grounded in our call to faith, hope and love.
