| Liturgy (meaning 'work of the
people') is what we do when we gather for worship. Our
chief liturgy (or worship service) is the Eucharist (Holy
Communion). |
|
Reception of Holy Communion is open to all baptized Christians, without
restriction... ALL are welcome at Christ's table. Actually,
you are not only welcome, but you are encouraged and invited to allow
yourself to be nourished with the Bread of Life. |
|
| |
|
| We usually "celebrate" the Eucharist twice on
Sundays and once during the week... |
|

|
 |
|
Sundays
at 8 A.M. This service is quiet and
contemplative. It uses more traditional language and prayers,
includes a sermon, but does not include music.. |
|
| Sundays
at 10:30 A.M.
This service includes music and has a
livelier, but still reverent, feel to it. The language is
similar to the language we use in our everyday life.. |
|
| Wednesdays
at 5:30 P.M. This service is quiet
and informal. It includes prayers for healing and a short
meditation is offered. Anointing for healing is available for
those desiring it for themselves or on behalf of others. |

| The beauty and majesty of Episcopal worship is
what, initially, draws many people to the Episcopal Church.
The services are not "stuffy" but you will definitely feel you are in
the presence of God.
Our
services are "active" and include the involvement of many people as
readers, Eucharistic ministers, choir members, acolytes, ushers and
greeters. Even those who do not have a formal assignment are
still considered participants in the service and not mere
spectators.
At
the same time, visitors and newcomers do not need to worry about
feeling awkward or unsure of what to do. Simply following the
congregation as to when to sit, stand, etc. is a very easy thing to
do. Also, there is a bulletin (leaflet) that provides page
and hymn numbers for those who like to follow along in this manner.
