Worship is at the heart of who we are and all that we do. We invite you to join us in our sacred space. Every Sunday, with a few exceptions, we have two services. We are excited to once again have a mid-week Eucharist service. We hope you will join us at a service. All are welcome.
Sunday 8:00 AM Holy Eucharist A spoken, contemplative service that uses traditional language. Sunday 10:30 AM Holy Eucharist An elegant, modern language service with music. Wednesday Mid-Week Eucharist 12:00 PM Meet in the sanctuary |
MusicThe Cherub Choir is for children ages 3 through 1st grade. This choir learns fundamentals of music and liturgy and sings at the 10:30 A.M. service a few times per year. The choir rehearses on Wednesday afternoon from 5:15 until 5:45.
The Alleluia Choir is for children in 2nd through 8th grades and 1st graders with excellent reading ability. This choir sings at the 10:30 AM service every two to three weeks from September through May, as well as for some other occasions. The choir rehearses on Wednesday afternoon from 5:15 until 6:15. The Good Shepherd Adult Choir rehearses on Wednesdays from 7:30 till 9:00 P.M. The choir sings weekly at the 10:30 A.M. service as well as at Evensong, Lessons & Carols, on Christmas Eve, and at other services on the liturgical calendar. This choir also sings throughout the summer with a brief rehearsal thirty minutes before the service. |
Altar GuildLiturgy begins and ends with the work of the Altar Guild. To care for the sacred vessels, the bread and the wine, the fair linens and hangings and the candles used for worship in the Sanctuary is far more than a task; it is a true ministry.
We are told that all things must be done "properly and in good order." It is the work of the Altar Guild that makes it possible to do so. The contribution of each Altar Guild member is important; together those contributions are a devotion to the greater glory of God. General Duties The duty of the altar guild is to prepare all the things necessary for the celebration of the Eucharist or any of the other sacraments and offices of the church. These services are included in the Book of Common Prayer and the Book of Occasional Services. The altar guild is a ministry - a gift of time and talent to serve God in His house. It is a privilege to serve God in this way. The housekeeping and decoration of God’s house should be done with sincere devotion and dignity. The rector is the head of the guild, but he or she cannot do all that must be done in preparation for all of the services. The altar guild plays an important role. The rector sets the rules, the style, and the tone of the services by his or her preference for placement of the vessels used in the services. The rector appoints the head of the altar guild to organize and schedule work assignments.Sed ut perspiciatis unde omnis iste natus error sit voluptatem accusant doloremque laudantium, totam rem. |
