Worship Times

Our weekly gathering is meant to encourage us, deepen our faith, and prepare us to serve the communities to which God sends us throughout the week. In worship, we are reminded that the Church is not simply a place we come to, but a people who are sent into the world to share Christ’s love in our homes, workplaces, schools, and neighborhoods.

Our worship follows the rich traditions of the Episcopal Church, rooted in Scripture and shaped by the Book of Common Prayer. Each week we hear readings from the Revised Common Lectionary, joining Christians around the world in listening to God’s Word. We gather around the Lord’s Table to receive Holy Communion, where Christ nourishes us with his presence and unites us as one Body. Through the singing of hymns, prayers, and the proclamation of the Gospel, we offer our praise to God and allow our hearts and minds to be formed by God’s grace.

We also value moments of quietness and reverence, recognizing that God often speaks in stillness as well as in song. Every part of our service is intended to draw our attention toward God, inviting us into wonder, gratitude, repentance, and hope. Worship is not a performance to observe but an encounter with the living God that shapes who we are and sends us out to love and serve the world in Christ’s name.

Although the styles differ, the goal is not to create separate congregations for each service. All our services express the same identity:

  • We proclaim the same Gospel.
  • We celebrate the same sacraments.
  • We are guided by the same mission.
  • We are one parish.

Our Worship Schedule

7:45 AM – Contemplative Holy Eucharist
A quiet, reflective service following the traditional liturgy of the Episcopal Church, without music.

9:00 AM – Holy Eucharist for all ages
Intergenerational • Accessible • Participatory

Our 9:00 a.m. service is designed to be welcoming to people of all ages, especially young families, children, and those who may be newer to the Episcopal tradition. It is intentionally less formal while remaining fully rooted in the liturgy of the Book of Common Prayer.

Characteristics include:

  • A warm, relaxed atmosphere that invites participation.
  • Children are welcomed as active participants in worship.
  • Music that supports congregational singing and is accessible to a wide range of ages.
  • A service length that works well for families with young children (45-50 minutes).

This service often attracts people who are looking for authentic worship, meaningful relationships, and a church where children are seen as part of the congregation rather than a distraction.

11:00 AM – Holy Eucharist
Formal • Choral • Traditional

The 11:00 a.m. service reflects the richness of the Anglican musical and liturgical tradition. It offers a more formal expression of Episcopal worship while remaining grounded in the same Gospel and sacramental life as the earlier service.

Characteristics include:

  • Holy Eucharist celebrated according to Rite II.
  • Leadership by the Canterbury Choir.
  • Traditional Anglican hymnody and choral music.
  • A more ceremonial style of worship.
  • A reflective and reverent atmosphere.

Many longtime parishioners and those who cherish Anglican liturgical tradition worship at this service. This service speaks to those who find God through beauty, reverence, and the historic rhythms of Anglican worship.

WEDNESDAYs

12:15 pm Holy Eucharist and Healing Service

“Are any among you sick? They should call for the elders of the church and have them pray over them, anointing them with oil in the name of the Lord. The prayer of faith with save the sick, and the Lord will raise them up.” James 5:14-15

On Wednesdays, we offer a mid-week healing prayer service. This is an intimate gathering that includes anointing, laying on of hands, and prayers for you and for anyone you love who is suffering in mind, body, or spirit. There is also a brief teaching for reflection, and everyone is invited to receive Holy Eucharist.
