8:00 am         Holy Eucharist

At this more meditative early service, the community celebrates communion and prays to God using the poetic language from the 1979 Book of Common Prayer. If you enjoy a quiet service and the solace of centuries-old English found in Rite I, or you simply want time early on Sundays to gather in community and pray before you enjoy the rest of your weekend, this service is a great place to start.

9:00 am         Holy Eucharist with Contemporary Music

While children are welcome at all of our services this casual service was designed to be family-friendly and includes abbreviated readings from scripture, a sermon, prayers of the people and communion. Music is offered by the St. Francis Singers, accompanied by Lee Kohler, our Director for Music Minister on piano with the support of talented musicians who play drum and guitar.

10:30 am       Holy Eucharist with Organ and Choir

Drawing on the rich liturgical and musical traditions of the Episcopal Church this service includes readings from scripture, a sermon, prayers of the people, and a sung Holy Eucharist. Choral anthems are offered by the Chancel Choir, accompanied by Lee Kohler, our Director for Music Ministry, on the organ and piano.

Community Sunday, 9:30 am, the first Sunday of every month

The first Sunday of every month is Community Sunday when all three services worship together at a single service at 9:30 am. Community Sunday is a dynamic gathering of the whole community and blends the best elements of all of our services. After the service join us for a festive coffee hour.
