Practicing the Greatest Commandment.
Love God, love yourself, love your neighbor - This is the sum of all the law and the prophets according to Jesus. In other words, this is what it means to be a disciple.

August Holy Hike
Saturday, August 15 10am
This next hike of the season will be held on the Mount Davis High Point Trail. This is an easy 2-mile out and back trail, and you will have the opportunity to climb the watch tower at the top of the mountain.
We will meet in the Mount Davis Picnic Area parking lot off Mount Davis Road. Follow Route 219 to Route 669 west to reach Mount Davis Road. The picnic parking area is well-marked and provides easy access to the High Point Trail trailhead.
During the hike, we hold a service of Holy Communion, stopping along the trail to read the scripture and say the prayers, while sharing the Eucharist at the end of the hike or at another appropriate setting along the trail. It’s a lovely way to have a worship service!
If you have questions about any of this season’s hikes, please contact ministry team member Katie Ong.
