St. Alban’s Women (SAW) Reboot!

Your Opinion and Suggestions are Requested for St. Alban’s Women (SAW) Reboot! St. Alban’s Women (SAW) is a multi-generational group of Christian Women Seekers who meet for Fellowship and Bible Study. In the past SAW has met monthly in the evenings at St. Alban’s for Bible Study. The Covid 19 situation has been an opportunity to rethink the way we do things and, maybe, better serve the needs of some women in our congregation. We are seeking your opinions on making changes to the format of SAW. Specifically, we need your opinion on changing our Bible Study to a virtual (Zoom or Google Meet Up) study group that meets bimonthly in the evenings. We are suggesting the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of each month from 7 to 9 pm. Additionally, SAW would meet quarterly (4 times a year) in person for Fellowship. For example, one Fellowship Event would be our

A Message from Father David

Welcome to St. Alban’s website. The fact that you are reading this right now may indicate that you are in the process of searching for a church. It’s a daunting task. There are currently about twelve churches within a mile of where I am now sitting! St. Alban’s is an Anglican Church that traces its roots to the English Reformation of the 16th century. We are anchored to historic Christianity, scripture, tradition, and the Book of Common Prayer. We value the past and believe that it sheds light on our current issues and illumines the path forward. Our history keeps us from wavering in the storms of a changing culture. However, we are not so constricted in our beliefs that we refuse to learn and to be transformed into the image of Christ. Life is complicated and there are many questions that are still unanswered. All of this happens in community as we worship, pray, study, and serve together. I hope that you will explore our website and please visit or call if you have any questions. Father David
