Descriptions of Our Services
"Worship is the submission of all our nature to God. It is the
quickening of conscience by His holiness; the nourishment of mind with
His truth; the purifying of imagination by His beauty; the opening of
the heart to His love; the surrender of will to His purpose; and all of
this gathered up in adoration."
William
Temple, Archbishop of Canterbury (1942-44)
NOTE: At each of our services, all baptized
Christians
are invited to receive communion.
- Saturday 5:00pm - Holy Eucharist, Rite II more...
- "Come as you are." is the theme of this informal service of Holy Eucharist. Whether from the tennis court, golf course or on your way to a formal dinner dance this Rite II service is a warm and friendly experience from the first welcome to the sermon sharing, sign of peace and final blessing. The service is easily followed, using a printed program of worship.
- Sunday 8:00am - Holy Eucharist, Rite I more...
- It is traditional in the Episcopal church to provide a
worship opportunity early in the morning with no music. Worship
proceeds following a rhythm of the spoken word and silence. It provides
ample opportunity for quiet reflection and contemplative prayer.
A visitor would be greeted at the door by a parishioner and handed a service bulletin which will lead the worshiper through the liturgy, referencing page numbers from the Book of Common Prayer. This is the red book which may be found in the rack on the back of each pew.
The congregation sits in silence until the clergy person enters the sanctuary and invites any of those present wishing private prayer or blessings to come forward. After these prayers any necessary announcements will be made. The congregation stands when the clergy and lay people serving at the altar enter from the sacristy to begin the service. Refreshments follow the service in our Disciples Hall. - Sunday 10:15am - Holy Eucharist, Rite II (Music) more...
- This mid-morning service includes beautiful music,
thoughtful preaching and poetic prayers the Episcopal Church is known
for. We use the red Book of Common Prayer and hymns are generally found
in the blue Hymnal(1982) or the "Lift Every Voice and Sing" book. These
are provided in each pew. Hymns are accompanied by organ/piano and
choir.
The language of prayers in this service is contemporary. Prior to the service there is quiet time for prayer and meditation, as well as an opportunity for private prayer for healing or thanksgiving at the altar. The service is easily followed, using a printed program of worship.
All are welcome for refreshments and fellowship after the service in our Disciples Hall. Nursery care is available during this service for children to age 3.
- Wednesday 10:00am - Healing Service & Holy Eucharist more...
- A spoken Holy Eucharist service that alternates between Rite I and Rite II and which includes the Service of Healing as the first part of the service. Healing prayers are offered with the laying on of hands and with the anointing of holy oil for those who desire this.
- Friday 6:15am - Holy Eucharist, Rite I or II more...
- This is an intimate worship experience, in the chapel, which begins with Morning Prayer from the Book of Common Prayer, followed by the Eucharist. After worship, this group generally goes to breakfast together.
