We come together to worship God in different ways. The Eucharist, also known as Holy Communion, is the central service of our worship life. We also have a variety of special services throughout the year for important days (such as All Saints, Christmas Eve, Holy Week, etc.) that are listed on our calendar.

Children are welcome at all of our services, and the most child-friendly service happens on the last Sunday each month at 10:00 am.  Sunday School is available for all ages and children join the rest in prayer each Sunday at Holy Communion time. We have toys, stuffed animals, coloring books, and play packets available at the front entrance for any little ones who need a bit of extra companionship during any of our services.

OUR WEEKLY SERVICES:

SUNDAYS:

WEDNESDAYS:

8:00 AM An intimate, quiet service without music in the traditional language of the Book of Common Prayer. The service incorporates silence and spoken word to create a contemplative worship experience. After the service, we head to Starbucks together for coffee and lively conversation.
​
10:00 AM A family-friendly celebration with full choir. This service combines the contemporary with the traditional, often incorporating music and prayers from around the world. Join us after the service for coffee hour downstairs in the fellowship hall.
* Sunday School available during the service.
12:00 pm An interactive celebration with the opportunity to discuss the readings for the day, the lives of the saints, and how the scripture and holy example of others speaks to us today.

HOW WE WORSHIP

Episcopalians worship using many different styles – some services are traditional, others contemporary, and some offer a blend of a variety of music and prayer traditions.  No matter the style, however, we use common prayer. Our worship follows a defined rhythm developed by Christians throughout the centuries:
  • Each worship service includes biblical readings often from the Psalms, Gospels, the Hebrew Scriptures, and the Epistles.
  • The congregation participates actively in worship, through prayers, responses, taking the Holy Communion, and oftentimes, singing.
  • The service is led by our priest and members of our congregation whose ministry is to support the worship life of our church.
  • There will usually be a sermon based on one or more of the Scripture readings. Occasionally, our sermon time incorporates a brief teaching on the day’s lesson with questions and discussion about what this means for our lives and relationship with God.​

​You are invited to come forward to receive the Eucharist
 in every communion service. To receive, simply follow the ushers and others as they come forward for communion and either stand or kneel at the altar rail. Extend your palms to receive the bread, and when you are offered the chalice of wine, guide it to your lips.  You are also free to come forward for the bread and decline to take the wine.
​
If you prefer not to take communion, you are invited to come forward for a blessing. When you come to the altar rail, simply cross your arms across your chest to signify to the priest that you prefer a blessing.
