Worship Schedule and Descriptions

7:45 a.m. Holy Eucharist, Rite I

This is a quiet, contemplative service with no music.
“Holy Eucharist” refers to the sacrament also known as Holy Communion or, in the Roman Catholic tradition, the Mass. All baptized Christians will be invited to come forward to the altar to receive the bread and wine. It is the historic position of the Church that receiving either the bread or wine is complete communion; if you do not wish to drink from the cup, decline it by crossing your arms over your chest. Those not yet Baptized, or those who simply prefer not to receive the bread and wine are invited to come forward for a blessing. Crossing your arms over your chest lets the ministers know your wish to simply receive a blessing.

Rite I refers to our version of Holy Eucharist that uses more traditional language, like “Thee” in reference to God.

This service typically lasts a little less than an hour.

9:00 a.m. Adult Christian Education

We study a variety of topics, usually directly from the Bible.

We also offer a variety of mid-week Bible studies and other classes. Current listings are available in the monthly newsletter, “The Good News,” available here, in the weekly Sunday bulletin, and by clicking here.
