SUNDAY
9:00 am Family Service
“But Jesus said, ‘Let the little children come to me. Don’t stop them! For the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to those who are like these children.'” (Matthew 19:14, NLT)
Our Family Service is an immersive, engaging experience for children, families, and all who attend! We follow traditional Episcopalian liturgy and encourage active participation. Our service holds traditional prayers and elements that you would find in a Rite II service, however portions of our service are written in child-friendly, contemporary language. Our aim in offering this service is to teach our children how to worship. We do this by giving them opportunities to participate and weekly practice The Lord’s Prayer and The Nicene Creed – foundational elements at the core of our worship. The service incorporates the use of sign language and visual aids to create engaging worship experiences for children and youth that keep their hearts yearning and open to God for a lifetime. Come and see our faith through the eyes of a child!
11:00 am Holy Eucharist with Choir: Rite II
Our 11 a.m. service follows the Episcopal Liturgy as found in the Book of Common Prayer. As Episcopalians, we celebrate ancient traditions long celebrated by the Church at large. We believe that our common faith and history anchors us in God’s story so that we can participate in it. Our weekly gathering is meant to encourage us, prepare us for serving the communities to which we’re sent. We practice these traditions: following lectionary readings, taking communion, singing hymns, and preparing our hearts to encounter God with quietness and reverence. Every part of our service is an opportunity for our eyes to be drawn towards God in worship. Please partake in this holy offering!
“You, God, are my God, earnestly I seek you; I thirst for you, my whole being longs for you, in a dry and parched land where there is no water.” (Psalm 63:1)
WEDNESDAY
12:15 pm Noonday Prayer Service
On Wednesdays, we offer a mid-week healing prayer service. This is an intimate gathering that facilitates prayer – for those you love and for your personal burdens. There is also a brief teaching for reflection, and everyone is invited to take communion. You’re welcome to bring your lunch and fellowship following the service. If you need a pick-me-up during the week, look no further than Noonday Prayer!
“Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abides forever. As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the Lord surrounds his people, from this time on and for evermore.” (Ps. 125:1-2)
