Vicar’s Welcome: The Very Rev. Mother Adrienne R. Hymes
“Martha said to Jesus, ‘Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died…’. Jesus said to her, ‘Your brother will rise again.’” (John 11:21, 23)
Welcome to St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Wesley Chapel. The scripture passage above is taken from a larger passage in John (11:17-27) in which the sister of Lazarus, Martha, confronts Jesus after her brother has already died. This passage is one of the gospels used in the Burial of the Dead liturgy in our Book of Common Prayer.

Testimonials
“I’ve been lost in the wilderness for the past year, searching for a home church. In the Wesley Chapel Episcopal Church, I have found a church community, being newly formed by people with diverse backgrounds and having like hearts in Christ’s love and scripture. The Lenten series provided time and space to explore Episcopal traditions, expand my evangelism skills, and accept the support of each other in the model of Jesus Christ. I won’t have to walk alone in my spiritual journey, now that I’ve found my brothers and sisters in Christ.”
Karen B.
“For much of my adult life, I have been studying and learning about religious and spiritual traditions outside of my Christian heritage. The Lenten Series that Eric and you presented over the past six weeks was quite effective in describing human nature, psychology and spirituality from a Christian perspective. I was struck by how these Christian teachings can be understood in terms that I have found so easily understandable in the other traditions and yet have not applied to Christian theology.”
