Message From Our Rector

"Finding a church home is challenging.  You want a place where you can be yourself, where you can bring your doubts, questions, and concerns, where you can be inspired and uplifted, and where you can find a greater purpose.  Hickory Neck Episcopal Church does that and so much more.  After you have taken some time to get to know us through our website, I hope you will come and meet us in person.  You are welcome here!"

The Reverend Jennifer Andrews-Weckerly

End of Summer-

Hayride

It’s hard to say goodbye to summer.  Lucky for us, we don’t have to do it all at once.


You are cordially invited to a Hickory Neck Hayride at the Williamsburg Christian Retreat Center on Saturday, September 30.  We will meet at the center at 4:00 p.m., where we’ll enjoy a hayride, then cook hotdogs and s’mores over the open fire! 


Come and help us bid a slow, easy farewell to summer!


The Williamsburg Christian Retreat Center is located at 9275 Barnes Rd, Toano.

Fall Work Day

Our annual Fall Work Day will be held on Saturday, October 7th (with a rain date of October 14th) to make sure our campus is at its peak for this year's Fall Festival.  All volunteers are welcomed and although we will begin at 8 am, any time you can devote to this effort will be appreciated.


The more volunteers we get, the quicker the cleanup will be completed.  So, please join in the fun for all or a portion of the effort and bring any yard equipment you think will help in the process.
