St. John's Episcopal Church Glasgow, Va

We are a parish family who cares deeply for each other, for our community, and for visitors to Glasgow. All are welcome! St. John's was established in 1886.

We follow God's call into the community, wherever it takes us. The first services were held in a small building on the homestead of Major Robert Echols. 1886 Diocesan records show one infant baptism, seven communicants added, and one funeral at the church. The present building was erected between 1895 and 1900 from brick salvaged from an abandoned factory of the "Boom Days." The Parish house (form

er Trinity Chapel at Sherwood, now Natural Bridge Station), was torn down and rebuilt beside St. John's by Mr. Bailey J Locher and Mr. Jesse Walker. In 1956 an addition connecting the two buildings was added.

Last hiker dinner for this season. We fed 6 hungry hikers. It is always fun to host a small group when we can sit at the table with them and really talk about their hike and experiences.
Thanks again to everyone that helped out with preparing, serving and cleaning up this year. We served over 200 hikers.
Special thanks to Grace Episcopal Church for doing 2 dinners and a Scout troop (with 4 different sets of numbers but brought to us through Grace Loughead) who did one dinner.

I think the bubble has passed through Glasgow. Monday night we had only 6 hikers for dinner. We'll do one more dinner next week, July 6. Thanks again to those that cooked, served and cleaned up from dinner. Thanks to Rev. Dr. Bob Copenhaver for bringing desserts and playing the bagpipes for everyone. Thanks to Etch-a-Sketch, Bruce Skillicorn for doing some hiker sketches.

A Scout Troop from Lexington prepared and served dinner to about 10 hikers, a few hostel staff, 7 scouts, 3 scouting parents, and 6 church members. The scouts are all working on their backpacking merit badge and have done at least one backpacking trip. It rained all during dinner so we had to take our picture inside. Ant Man and Angel are missing from the picture. Etch-a-Sketch (Bruce Skillicorn) was on hand to draw some hikers.
We have two more hiker dinners planned for this season, June 29 and July 6.

There were also a couple different kinds of salads and lots and lots of deserts. Thanks to the hikers for coming to the meal and thanks to Grace for supplying and serving the delicious dinner.

Sixth hiker dinner on Monday night. We had 32 hikers for dinner. It was a full house. Many thanks to Grace Episcopal Church from Lexington, VA who provided a delicious and plentiful taco bar with salad, dessert and lots of trail magic to take back with them on the trail.

Rev. Dr. Bob Copenhaver was with us playing the bagpipes and Bruce "Etch-a-sketch" Skillicorn was us for some hiker sketches.
