Our Saturday night 5:00 PM mass is offered on the second Saturday of the month and features a broad array of live music woven into the traditional Episcopal liturgy and are presented on the second Saturday of the month. This service is in person and is usually an hour long.
The 8:30 AM Sunday Mass is more traditional with a few hymns, shorter sermon and Holy Communion—great for early risers and lasts about an hour!
Our largest service of worship, the 10:30 AM Mass, celebrates Holy Communion with a full choir (during the school year), hymns and traditional liturgy. Children are invited to join children's Chapel during this service, and nursery care is available for children up to the age of four. This service is streamed live and can be over an hour.
Everything you need for the service— including the liturgy, hymns and announcements—is provided in the service bulletin distributed by our ushers.
During the 10:30 Service
Children ages 3 through 11 begin the service in the Sanctuary, where they can experience the processional and the opening congregational prayers with their family. After the opening Collect, children are invited to the front of the Sanctuary to make their way to Children's Chapel* and participate in songs, prayers, brief meditation and storytelling of the day’s Gospel and/or New and Old Testament readings.
A children’s shelf located in the Narthex offers items that may aid your child’s worship experience during the remainder of the Mass. Crayons, religious books, finger labyrinths and other items are available for your child’s use. Please return the items to the shelf at the end of the service.
