Church school for all ages follows the service from September-May.

5:00 p.m. Eucharist - on a monthly rotating schedule
1st Sunday: U2charist
The U2charist is an Episcopal Eucharist service that features the music of the rock band U2 and a message about God’s call to rally around the Millennium Development Goals. The liturgy itself is pretty traditional — has all the usual required elements: a Gospel reading, prayers, communion from an authorized prayer book. The music is really what is different. And yet not so different. It is rock. But it is deeply and overtly spiritual.
2nd Sunday: Taizé Eucharist
The Taizé service involves taking time for some longer periods of silence, time for us to quiet ourselves, our souls and bodies. As we become accustomed to these silent times, we create openings into which we invite God to enter our thoughts and hearts. We hope you will join us and invite others to worship with you.
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: Contemporary Eucharist
Every other month, this service has Gospel music provided by the Good News Boys. On the alternate Sunday, this service includes a sermon, holy communion and a variety of different traditional and contemporary prayers.
