Shrine Mont Retreat
A good-sized energetic gathering of Christ Church faithful attended the 2010 Shrine Mont retreat held last weekend, September 18th and 19th. 
Led by our Senior and Junior Wardens—Maisie McGuire and Caroline Roberts—the well attended event included Vaughn and Wendy Clatterbuck, Bob and Nina Randolph, Ian Williams, Bob and Lisa Goshen, Bob and Carol Sellery, Anne Randolph, Tyson Gilpin, and Don Frabutt.
The whole-group gatherings with refreshments and libations provided a wonderful time for friendly and reflective conversation. The two workshop sessions were led by Jonathon Bryan, a retired rector who added insight into our roles within the church and our community outreach by figuring out ways to become more grounded in God. The final event was the gathering at the outdoor shrine for Holy Eucharist before lunch and departure.
I therefore, the prisoner in the Lord, beg you to lead a life worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, making every effort to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
Ephesians 4.1-3

Old Chapel…replaced a log-clapboard chapel built in the mid-1750s and served for decades as the primary place of worship for Episcopalians in what would become Clarke County. It is the oldest Episcopal church in continuous use west of the Blue Ridge Mountains, according to the website of its parish, Cunningham Chapel Parish.
A New Lark Cometh to Clarke… an open invitation to friends and residents of beautiful Clarke County Virginia
We are about to embark on a new lark! A complete makeover of our A Lark Through Clarke County blog. And we want YOU to help us either create the new look or suggest the nature of the content for this blog.
Originally, our mission was to bring a behind-the-scenes look at “A Lark Through Clarke Stable Tour and More” as the tour event unfolded. But alas, as announced a while back, the stable tour is no more.
Our focus changed earlier this year to stories about the rich history of Clarke County. But now we want to broaden our horizon to include current stories of community interest and happenings throughout Clarke County.
We are inviting YOU and all friends and residents of Clarke County to share their stories with us. To that end, we invite you to take a moment now and offer your comments about where we go from here. That is, what would YOU like to read about when you visit this blog? What events or stories would be of special interest to you?
