Staff and Vestry
As we wait for the arrival of our new Rector, we will continue to provide regular services each Sunday morning. We will have in-person service + livestreamed service at 10:30am. See the Home page for a schedule of services.

Nursery Care Provider: Barbara Bryant
Emmanuel's nursery care provider, Barbara Bryant, has been looking after Emmanuel's young children for 25 years. Many college students and young adults remember her loving care and come home for the holidays and hug "Ms. Barbara." A Staunton native, Barbara is a CNA, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. She is retired from her previous employment at Western State Hospital. When she s not caring for Emmanuel's children, Barbara loves listening to music, dancing, sewing, and walking.
