A typical Sunday liturgy

Our Sunday liturgy is called the Holy Eucharist.  The Eucharist is a service in which we hear God speaking to us through the words of the Bible, offer prayers for the life of the church and the world, and share in the sacrament of Holy Communion, the sacred meal of Christ’s Body and Blood made present in bread and wine. Baptized Christians of all traditions are welcome to share in the bread and wine.

Our worship is a modern expression of the most ancient traditions of the Church’s worship, speaking to today’s world through forms which date to the earliest days of the Church.

In addition to Sunday liturgies, we gather to pray and share the sacraments on various Holy Days throughout the year.  Often our Holy Day worship is accompanied by a festive parish supper.
