|
| 7:45 a.m. Holy Eucharist, Rite I |
|
| This service is for those who like to worship early and simply. A said service,
using the beautiful Elizabethan English of the Rite I Eucharist, and making the
most of the powerful liturgy of the Anglican tradition, this service attracts a
loyal group of about 30 to 40 worshippers.

|
| 9:00 a.m. Holy Eucharist, Rite II |
|
| This lively, family-friendly service features our contemporary music group,
“Forever Endeavor,” and is an informal, innovative service – a “work in
progress.” The contemporary service strives to be a worship-filled experience
for people of all ages.Following the reading of the lessons, the children are
invited to come forward for a special children’s lesson. They also participate
in helping the Celebrant prepare the Holy Table for Eucharist. This service
takes advantage of the wide variety of resources that the Church makes
available to expand the language, images, vocabularies and metaphors used in
worship. |
|
| 10:00 a.m. Coffee Hour & Fellowship |
|
| 11:00 a.m. Holy Eucharist, Rite II |
|
| This is a traditional service with vested choir, a full complement of acolytes,
a Gospel procession, and chanted Psalm. If there is such a thing as a “typical”
service in the Episcopal Church, this would be it. This service strives to be
orderly without being regimented, dignified without being stuffy. |
|
| Child Care |
|
| An adult-run Nursery for infants and toddlers under four years of age is
offered from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. every Sunday. This allows parents of young
children to attend services and Sunday morning events without distraction,
knowing that their children are safe and well-attended to. |
