Worship is at the heart of all we do as a Christian faith community. We celebrate the Holy Eucharist, the Mass, as an offering of thanks for all that we receive from God. Our worship is joy-filled and we sing songs from the traditional Episcopal Hymnal 1982 as well as music from the African American hymnal, Lift Every Voice and Sing. Contemporary music enlivens our worship experience. Saxophone, guitar and drums bring a special sparkle to our worship opn special occasions. Our talented singers and guest soloists brighten our music throughout the year.
Our worship "style" is high church or Anglo-Catholic, but we're not stuffy about it. That means that we cherish the great traditions of catholic worship without placing form over substance. We are, after all, people of God called to celebrate life, so our worship must be expressive of whom we are as God's pilgrim people. Lay members, young and old, male and female, join our priest in leading worship. Lay people serve as Lectors (readers of the Bible lessons), Eucharistic Ministers who assist at Communion, Acolytes who assist the priest during worship, Choir members who lead our singing, and Ushers and Greeters who welcome everyone who comes to worship with us.
It's God's table, not ours, and all are welcome to share in the celebration. Our worship is easy to follow and we hope you will come grow with us as we worship God in the beauty of holiness.
