Our worship blends traditional liturgy and beautiful music, rooted in our Anglican tradition. Each week, through the Holy Scriptures and Holy Eucharist, we experience God’s love and celebrate the resurrection. Our ancient liturgical practices guide us in the ways of Jesus Christ.
We offer Holy Eucharist—or Communion—in two kinds: bread and wine. You may receive bread alone or a blessing, with gluten-free options available.
A Note on Children in Worship:
We welcome children of all ages into our worship service. Children are signs of life and vitality. As we seek to include people of all ages and capabilities in our service, we joyfully embrace those who sometimes make a joyful noise! We remember the words of Jesus in Mark 10:14 "Let the little children come to me; do not stop them. For it is to such as these that the kingdom of God belongs."
Should little ones (or their parents) need a break, we offer nursery care every Sunday from 8:15 AM-12:15 PM for infants through children age four. You are welcome to take your little one to childcare at any point during the service. Any of our ushers will guide and assist you.
Our lobby also functions as a "cry room," if needed, replete with children's materials. It is a great location where parents can bring their children and still hear the service.
Worship.
Sunday Services.
8:30 a.m. Holy Eucharist | “Come as You Are” Service
An intentionally intergenerational service, with families and children in mind—Bible readings designed to be better understood by children, fewer verses of hymns, occasional stories instead of sermons, singing from our children and youth choir, and a service that lasts around 50 minutes.
11:00 a.m. Holy Eucharist | “Traditional” Service
A formal and familiar service. Full verses of hymns, more complex music, the leadership of our Chancel Choir and an often chanted liturgy will be the hallmarks of this service.
Other Services.
Healing Eucharistic Service | Every Wednesday | 11:00 a.m.
A mid-week Eucharistic service that offers the laying on of hands and anointing for healing.
"Wonder Church" | First Saturday of the Month | 4:00 p.m.
A service entirely for children and young families—engaging music to get the wiggles out, hands on activities, suitable prayers, and holy fun! This service seeks to engage our children fully in worship.
For families who attend Wonder Church, we provide free childcare for parents/guardians immediately after the service from 5:00-7:30 p.m. Enjoy a parents night out!
