Sunday Services

 

8:00 a.m.  Holy Eucharist Rite I


Using the traditional Rite I liturgy, this service has a full sermon, holy communion and a closing hymn and postlude. The congregation gathers for coffee and baked goods immediately following the service.

9:00 a.m. Holy Eucharist Rite II

This service makes a special effort to include children and teenagers. The service includes a children’s sermon, adult sermon, holy communion, hymns, and children and adult choir music. Children of all ages participate in the service as ushers, readers, acolytes and chalice bearers. Bible dramas and other creative proclamations of the Gospel are used throughout the liturgical year. Although many very young children stay with their parents throughout the entire service, childcare is available in the nursery. Coffee and baked goods are served immediately following the service. Church school for all ages follows the service from September-May.

11:15 a.m. Holy Eucharist Rite II

Having a more contemplative atmosphere than the lively 9:00 service, this service includes a sermon, holy communion, hymns and adult choir September through May. Gifted soloists and instrumentalists also participate in this service on a regular basis. Music is more traditional than at 9:00, but also includes a wider variety of musical traditions. Childcare is available in the nursery. Coffee and baked goods are served immediately following the service.

3rd Sunday: Celtic Eucharist

Celtic worship is a way for us to get in touch with how worship might have been done before The Roman Church influenced worship in Great Britain. This form of worship was taught by the monasteries and thus emphasizes the unity of living and praying. It is praise filled and highlights the sacredness of place and a oneness with creation. Celtic worship speaks simultaneously to the heart and the mind rather than only the mind. Celtic music is hauntingly beautiful and often contemplative in style. Piano and flute accompany the music.


4th Sunday: Healing Service

A healing service invites people to bring their own or someone else's physical, psychological, emotional and spiritual brokenness to God. The service includes readings, a brief meditation, contemplative music and offers people the opportunity, if they so desire, to receive the laying on of hands and prayers for healing.
