Worship

Our worship practice is best described by the word celebration. We celebrate God whose glory is reflected in all of creation through our lives and in our worship. Our diverse and creative worship life emphasizes how we can bless and be a blessing to others and flows from the communion table to our many other communal feasts.

Schedule of Services

Sunday, 9:00 a.m. -- Rite II Holy Eucharist, with music, processions and acolytes.   This is a more traditional service, using mostly text from the 1979 Book of Common Prayer and some  hymns from the 1982 Hymnal.  The seating arrangement is also traditional.

Wednesday, 7:00 a.m. -- Holy Eucharist (Rite II) on the first, third, and fifth Wednesdays of each month; Morning Prayer (Rite II) on the second and fourth Wednesdays.  Eucharist is celebrated by the Rev. Nels Moller; Morning Prayer is led by lay persons.

Third Thursdays, 7:00 p.m. -- Evening Celtic celebrations are held on the third Thursday evening of each month,  featuring chants, alternative worship texts, and potluck reception following.  Please see the Celtic celebrations page to confirm the date.

We welcome children into the liturgy and encourage families to worship together. Families with young children are invited to use the chapel if they would like more space for their children. Nursery care for infants and toddlers is available.

Holy Communion is served in two places. You may receive communion kneeling or standing at the altar rail, or standing at the station in front of the baptismal font. If you are unable to come to the standing station at the font, the sacraments can be brought to you in your pew. At the Celtic celebrations, communion is brought to you at your place in the circle of gathered community.
