I visited several Williamsburg area worship services before I found St. Stephen, which felt like…read morehome during my first visit. I wasn't even a Lutheran (!). During worship, the scripture readings and words of the sermon spoke to my heart, the joy of music touched me, and the sacrament of communion brought me peace. Following the worship service I was warmly greeted and welcomed. St. Stephen helps match folks with opportunities to volunteer their time and talents to help others. From the variety of opportunities, I found something (preparing/delivering meals for the housing insecure) to get involved in right away, as I wanted to begin to help make a difference. Starting with this one ministry, I began meeting others, learning of the community's needs, feeling a part of something larger, being a part of "God's Work. Our Hands." I've now been part of St. Stephen for five-plus years. I love that we are young families with kids, and, we are college students, singles, parents, and active retirees. There are many areas of social injustice that need our attention, our action. God does his "*greatest works through people with grateful, trusting hearts." Let us practice trusting and thanking God continually. *Jesus Calling, Sarah Young

Wow, I can review my synagogue? Neat!…read more In case people are actually looking on Yelp for insights on whether to attend religious services when they're visiting Williamsburg, I wholeheartedly recommend Temple Beth El to you. Here are some things you might want to know before you go: -The synagogue is not affiliated with a movement. This is maybe my favorite thing about it, but it is likely not to be exactly what you're used to no matter what movement you're a part of. Certainly, the advantage is that you'll meet Jews of all shapes, sizes, and persuasions here. -Shabbat services: Ma'ariv is 7:30 year-round, Shacharit is 10:00 AM year round, but they only have Shacharit services once a month (usually first Saturday) during summer. -The congregation is small enough that visitors are usually recognized and possibly asked to introduce themselves during the announcements before the conclusion of the service. -Likewise, if you stand for kaddish, you may be asked if you would like to share a memory of your loved one. You should feel free to accept or decline this invitation. To me it's a pretty heartwarming custom, and I very much enjoy hearing others' memories, but we are all very respectful of those in mourning and do not want to make them feel uncomfortable. If anyone has any other questions about Beth El, I was a Sunday school teacher here for a year and spent many more attending services, so please feel free to send me a message.

Grace participates in a more formal / traditional style of worship by today's standards, but it is not formal in a stuffy and pompous way. Grace also seems to be positioned towards liberal bent and there is freedom for thought and spiritual exploration. I have been active in this church now for about 6 months and there is a deep sense of community and involvement within the church body. The calendar is full of activities and events. Moreover, there is a wide diversity of age and people of all backgrounds are embraced. The Rector, Carelton, and the associate Rector, Connie, are completely lovely people and they have exhibited genuine care for my family and I have seen their care for others on a consistent basis. I simply cannot say enough good about this church - I love it!
