HOLY EUCHARIST

EVERY SUNDAY, 10:00AM

Our primary form of worship on Sunday mornings is the Holy Eucharist found in The Book of Common Prayer otherwise known as the "mass," "holy communion," or "the Lord's supper." The word "eucharist" comes from the Greek for "thanksgiving" because in our worship of God we are making an offering of thanks and praise, of our whole selves, and of the fruits of the Earth found in the elements of bread and wine. Through our prayers, our singing, and our gathering together we experience the presence of Jesus Christ in our midst and more specifically take in his body and blood in our sharing of the bread and the wine.

All baptized Christians are welcome to receive the body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ at our altar. If you are unable to receive communion in our tradition, you are still invited to come forward to receive a blessing from the priest; this can be indicated by the crossing of one's arms across their chest.

​Rite I or Rite II
The Book of Common Prayer contains two forms of worship for the Eucharist. 
Rite I is based on the rituals used in the Church of England at the time of the Reformation and the language used reflects that historic character. 
​Rite II is based on the rituals of the early Church and uses contemporary language.
