Path To Shine® is a mentoring and tutoring program for elementary-school children in North and Middle Georgia. Our purpose is to provide  academic and social support to encourage children to thrive in school and build self-confidence to their dreams. PTS's success stems from our principles to maintain a ratio of no more than one Mentor to two students, to have a flexible structure that adapts to each local community, and to consistently seek collaboration with other organizations.

Lesley Ann Drake is the Director

New Ministries - Brian Sullivan, New Rector

September 30, 2018


Brian Sullivan with Bp Alexander
All Hallow's Eve was the date for the Celebration of New Ministry for the Rev. Brian Sullivan as he became the first Rector o St. Benedict's, Smyrna with Bishop Neal Alexander celebrating and preaching at the service. And what did the congregation do for him after the service? Well they had a great BBQ dinner followed by a Trunk for Treat for the children and parents of the parish. All this should bode well for his ministry at St. Benedict's. You can see photos from the Trunk or Treat also on the site. Video of excerpts of the service can be found at http://www.dioatlvideo.org and the full service at http://www.vimeo.com/16476385.

In 2010 we  began worshiping in our our present worship space in our new church building







As a result of the pandemic  we could no longer gather together for worship and in person meetings.




To maintain our own spirit journey and our sense of our parish community we began meeting and some smaller worship services using  Zoom  


Compline is held 5 nights per week at 8PM

using Zoom


Using Zoom for smaller worship services, men and women Bible studies, and other meetings that in the past were held at the church.



For the larger worship services, we found ways to maintain the quality of our worship  and streaming videos of Sunday morning services

Click here to watch one of our online video services


And while we continued watch our online services each Sunday morning (still available to all to the present day...)



Outdoor Worship Services



Last fall, there was a part of our  Parish community that wished to worshipping in person. So we began holding a service of  Morning Prayer each Sunday Morning in our parking lot



Click here to watch the video slideshow of the service


Finally after Mother Jenna joined us as our new Rector, she began holding a  Weekly Sunday afternoon Eucharist.

I hope you enjoy looking back at some of the important events in the history of St. Benedict's Episcopal Church.
