Welcome to the Episcopal Church of Our Saviour. This official web site provides information to visitors and members about the happenings at the Episcopal Church in Placerville, California.

Placerville is in the heart of the California Gold Rush, in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Range. Gold was discovered in California at Coloma, 8 miles away. Coloma is now a state park.

We are part of the Episcopal Diocese of Northern California, The Rt. Rev. Barry Beisner, bishop. The Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Chuch is the Most Rev. Katherine Jefforts Schori. We are also part of the worldwide Anglican Communion, The Most Rev. and Rt. Hon. Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury.

Site is under construction. More features will be available in the future.

Paul: His Life and Thought, part 2. To understand Paul, we must learn to interpret his correspondence. Although the apostle was not a prolific letter writer, most of our knowledge of him comes from a handful of letters he wrote to Christians living in Rome, Greece, and Asia Minor (modern-day Turkey)—not a lot on which to base our understanding of the man. Another obstacle to understanding Paul’s thought is the distance between him and us. He wrote nearly two thousand years ago, spoke a different language, believed different things about the universe, and assumed different cultural norms. In this lesson, we will consider how he wrote his letters. In so doing, we will open one more window through which we can peer into Paul’s life.

Celtic Evensong: Wednesdays at 6:00 PM

Moning Prayer: Tuesday through Friday at 8:30 AM

Established in 1861, we welcome all people to be a part of us.
