Last night was an amazing night of community building amd worship! We welcomed the Rev. Sister Egeria Mark of the Community of St. Mary, Southern Province as our guest presider. Following worship, she hosted a session of “Ask a nun anything!” and we learned more about monasticism in the Episcopal Church. Thank you Sister for joining us and we can’t wait to see you again soon!

A few weeks ago, we commissioned the members of our Board of Directors for the 2026-2027 academic year. Thank you to all those who help to lead Tyson House! The board is made up of parishioners from supporting congregations and several students.

Our chapel is open for prayer and you are welcome to come light a candle and say a prayer for a beautiful Christian soul who has now left this life.

O God, whose mercies cannot be numbered: Accept our prayers on behalf of your servant Dolly Parton and grant her an entrance into the land of light and joy, in the fellowship of your saints; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen. (BCP pg, 493).

This portrait of Dolly done in the orthodox style is by Shannon Stooksbury, a member of our community.
