What's happening? Photos, Events, visitors, meetings, notices...
We are delighted that you are considering joining us
for worship. We have prepared a booklet to facilitate
the worship of those visitors and newcomers who are
not familiar with the Episcopal liturgy. It is our hope
that you will find theological depth and the richness
of two thousand years of Church tradition in the words
of the liturgy.
Episcopal worship involves a great deal of moving around --
sitting, kneeling, and standing variously.
Please feel free to remain seated
if you are more comfortable doing so.
In your pew, you will find the red Book of Common Prayer and the blue Hymnal 1982,
which are heavily used throughout the service.
Hymns are listed by number on the placard at the front of the sanctuary.
It may be helpful for you to mark the hymns and the service music in the Hymnal
before the service starts for a minimum of confusion during the service.
You will also find Bibles at either end of the pew.
Two additional books are stacked with the Bible: Mission Praise and Songs of Praise.
We use these books during communion, where songs are usually led from the piano or the guitar.
We hope that you enjoy worshipping with us, and that you join us for a cup of coffee and a snack in the parish room after the service.
