About Worship

We hope you will experience God's peace, joy, and hope while worshipping with us. When you join us for worship, you will receive a user-friendly worship leaflet that draws upon the prayers and worship of  the 1979 Book of Common Prayer and music from Episcopal hymnals.  The first half of our worship features readings from the Bible, a reflection from the priest, prayers for the church and the world, and the passing of the peace.  The second half of our worship is a prayer of thanksgiving, referred to as "The Great Thanksgiving", where bread and wine are consecrated and then given to everyone who wishes to come forward and receive the bread and wine, or a blessing.  The purpose of our worship is to offer God our praise and thanksgiving; to be spiritually fed and encouraged in the readings, reflections, prayers and breaking of the bread; and to be empowered to help transform the world through a life of service.

Children in Worship

Children of all ages are always welcome and encouraged to attend any worship service.  We seek to make it as meaningful an experience for them as possible, and we encourage their participation throughout the service.  Learning about the liturgy helps establish lifelong habits that will help children develop a strong faith of their own.  For a closer look, children are invited to sit on the cushions in front of the pews. We also invite little ones to explore our children’s corner in the back of the church.  There they will find drawing and coloring materials, quiet toys, books, a blanket to crawl on, and comfortable chairs. All children are welcome at God’s Table.  It is the choice of parents to allow children to receive bread and wine at communion, in what way and at what age. Children who do not receive may receive a blessing from the priest. This is a short prayer made for the child with the sign of the cross.

Music

We see music as one of the primary elements of worship. As a great writer of the early Church put it, “To sing is to pray twice.” Our Parish Musicians bring with them a deep commitment to congregational singing as central to the health and spiritual vitality of a parish. So their work incorporates the strengthening of the singing of the whole body of the people when gathered in worship. They view the role of the choir and of choral music as prompting and sustaining the singing of the congregation. For them, music is about worship and worship comes from the hearts and lips of all worshippers.We use a variety of instruments in worship, including woodwind, brass, and stringed instruments.  Our primary instruments are a Steinway Piano and a Moeller Church Organ (circa 1958). We welcome interested vocalists and instrumentalists to contact our Parish Musicians.
