Serving God's People for over 130 years!
Welcome to Atonement
Welcome to the Church of the Atonement, an Episcopal church in the Anglo-Catholic tradition. For more than 135 years, Atonement has been a witness to the Gospel of Jesus Christ in our Edgewater neighborhood and in the wider community. Today, we continue in that witness as an active, visionary, and inclusive congregation that serves God through daily prayer and worship, the practice of lifelong Christian learning, and ministries of outreach and justice.
Whoever you are, and wherever you are in your walk of faith, you are most welcome here. Your presence, your faith, your prayers, and your questions are wanted here. Your gifts and your energy are needed here. You are invited to come and see what God has in mind for you.
Holy Week at Atonement
Sun., Mar. 29: Palm Sunday / The Feast of the Passion
On Sunday we offer three masses: 8 a.m. Low Mass, 9 a.m. Family Mass, or 11 a.m. Solemn High Mass which includes a triumphal procession around the block led by donkeys and a bagpiper.
If you can join us in person, the 11:00 service will be live-streamed.
Thu., Apr. 2: Maundy Thursday
Join us at 7 p.m. on Maundy Thursday as we remember the institution of the Holy Eucharist, and Jesus' washing of the disciples' feet. Stay and pray with Jesus at the Altar of Repose after the service until midnight.
If you can join us in person, this service will be live-streamed.
Fri., Apr. 3: Good Friday
We invite you to join us at our Good Friday service at 7 p.m. for this service that recalls the Passion of our Lord—his trial before Pilate, death on the cross and burial in a borrowed tomb. No Friday morning Mass today.
If you can join us in person, this service will be live-streamed.
Sat., Apr. 4: Holy Saturday / The Great Vigil
A special Holy Saturday at a 10 a.m.service recalling the descent of Jesus into Hell will be offered. No Healing Mass this morning.
During the Easter Vigil at our 8 p.m. Solemn High Mass, we witness the transition from darkness to light—death to resurrection—and read of God's deliverance. This Mass will be celebrated at the high altar.
If you can join us in person, the Vigil will be live-streamed.
Sun., Apr. 5: Easter Day / The Feast of the Resurrection
Please join us for our 8 a.m. Low Mass, 9 a.m. Family Mass, or 11 a.m. Solemn High Mass as we give thanks that those who die in Christ shall be, like him, raised in glory. We will also host an Easter egg hunt for the children on the north lawn at 10 a.m. (weather permitting).
If you can join us in person, the 11:00 service will be live-streamed.
