Sherwood Episcopal Church Awarded $1.7 Million Grant for Stormwater Management Project

Sherwood Episcopal Church Awarded $1.7 Million Grant for Stormwater Management Project

Sep 21, 2023 | , , , ,

During heavy rain events, stormwater flows from higher-elevation, asphalted housing developments on Sherwood Hill above the Sherwood campus to a gully behind the church. As a result, the campus is flooded with pollutants, debris, and sediment which move over the church and neighboring properties, then further downhill to heavily trafficked York Road. The polluted stormwater continues to Beaverdam Run, a tributary of Loch Raven Reservoir, and into the greater Baltimore drinking water supply.

Bishop Sutton’s notes on the Eucharist – All are welcome and invited!

Dec 8, 2022 | , ,

This week Bishop Sutton addressed the clergy and wardens of our diocese on best suggested practices for the Eucharist, including instructions not to intinct, if possible.
