How We Worship
If you've never been to an Episcopal church, here's what to expect: beautiful prayers you don't have to make up on the spot, Scripture read aloud, a short sermon, people who kneel, stand and sit as well as people who don't . . . and communion. We follow the Book of Common Prayer, which has been shaping Christian worship for nearly five hundred years. You'll find it in the pew, and it will guide you through everything.
The heart of our worship is the Eucharist, the bread and wine of communion, offered every Sunday, many Wednesdays and on Holy Days throughout the year. Everyone is welcome at God's table. We mean that. You don't need to be a member. You don't need to have it all figured out. You don't need to be Episcopalian. You can't do anything wrong and neither can your kids. We yearn for the ruckus of children .
Our worship comes to life through the gifts of many hands and voices: our choir, musicians, readers, altar guild, healing ministers, and young people all play a part. If you'd like to get involved, we'd love to have you but we'll also let you quietly sit in whatever pew you want for as long as you want. In case this is important: it is real wine.
