Saturday – 5:00 p.m.

Saturday Holy Eucharist – This simple service uses a standard Rite II liturgy but has no hymns or service music like on Sunday morning. If you like a quieter shorter service this may be for you.

Sunday - 8:00 a.m.
Sunday Holy Eucharist - If you crave a certain simplicity — and if you can forgo music — this service is right for you. Quiet and smaller than services later in the morning, we would venture that every Episcopal Church in the country begins Sunday morning with a service like this. The Rite I form of the liturgy is used.

Sunday - 10:00 a.m.
Sunday Holy Eucharist – This is our most formal service, but you can still expect surprises. This service uses Rite II and includes music generally led by the choir. There is a full sermon, and healing is offered. Nursery care is available for children 4 and under.  Church School is offered September – May. Throughout the summer Chapel in the Garden replaces Church School.

        Nursery - Our newly renovated nursery is open throughout the 10 
        o'clock service, and is intended for children 4 years old  and younger. 
        The nursery is staffed by 2 trained adults and features  a paging 
        system, that allows the nursery staff to privately contact parents.

        Church School - A weekly program designed to help children      
        experience the scriptures and learn about God's love. Children gather 
        for singing and prayer before going to age specific classes.      

        Chapel in the Garden – Throughout the summer young people gather  
        in the Commons before the 10 o’clock service. From there they process 
        into the garden for a simple service of music, prayers, readings and     
        sharing. The children rejoin the service at the Peace.
   

Wednesday - 12:15 p.m.
Wednesday – This brief mid-day service uses Rite II and includes the laying on of hands for healing. A brief sermon, usually drawing from Lesser Feasts and Fasts is offered. There is no music at this service.

Tuesday – Friday - 7:30 a.m. Morning Prayer
Morning prayer is the steady drumbeat of the church’s prayer life. Reaching back to antiquity, the practice of daily reading of psalms, scripture, canticles and prayers was borrowed by early Christians from Jewish worship. In addition to the prescribed psalms, canticles and lessons, officiants read the prayers requested by members of the congregation, keeping faith with our responsibility to be a true community.
