“This church, no matter what the reviews say is so good that ratings cannot give justice of the truth and peace that comes from the teachings this has. It is the right way to heaven. And these reviews can't change that. Come unto Christ.”
“I went to a Bible Study and potluck last Wednesday evening at Sean's and His wifes house and really enjoyed the Bible Study and meeting all the nice people! We plan on going their when ever we are in Rockaway. I find Sean's teaching very edifying, George and Sharon Lippert from Banks Or. Area.”
“It feels... odd to review a church ("Bless me, Father, for I have sinned; it's been three weeks since my last review") but St Mary's by the Sea hosts the Rockaway Beach Meals for Seniors programs. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, Meals for Seniors offers lunches on a donation basis ($5 is customary, but no one is turned away for lack of funds). It's a get-together that Rockaway seniors rely on for social contact, conversation, visits with friends, and more, all with a nice lunch at a very reasonable price.For seniors (or anyone) who can't travel, Meals for Seniors also offers a delivery service within town. They also have regular French toast breakfasts as fund-raisers, including sausage, scrambled eggs, usually a fresh-fruit compote, plus coffee and juice. Those are also donation-based, but I typically drop a $20 in the bowl to support what they do for my neighbors.I have always been made to feel totally welcome at St Mary's, and have been to their church jumble sales more than once. (And if you think this makes me feel like I'm in a Father Brown mystery, you'd be exactly right.) There is also a contemplation bench facing the ocean at the west edge of the parking lot, which is a wonderful, peaceful spot to be at peace with oneself and the world.”
