SUNDAY WORSHIP
We have two services on Sunday morning.
Each service includes readings from the Bible, a sermon, prayers, and Holy Communion each week. We serve Holy Communion in bread alone currently, due to COVID, including gluten free wafers for those who need them. All of our services are from the Book of Common Prayer and other services of the Episcopal Church.
We take up a collection at each service, which is an opportunity for members to offer their pledge during worship, or to offer a donation towards the ministries of our parish. On the first Sunday of every month, we take up special offerings to outreach ministries and other projects the parish has engaged in.
8:30AM Our 8:30 service includes gospel songs led by guitar, keyboard and drums.
10:30AM Our 10:30 service is a traditional service, with hymns, organ music and Canterbury Choir. This service is being streamed Sunday mornings through our Facebook Page. Our page is set to public, so you do not need to have a Facebook account to watch. If you are prompted to sign in, you should be able to close that window, and scroll down our page to the Live Video. During our normal year, youth acolytes assist with service duties, along with adult readers, Eucharistic ministers, ushers, and musicians. Our Canterbury Choir meets throughout the program year from September to May, and prepares offertory anthems and assists with leading hymns.

Mask Wearing Changes
Because so many of the members of our church are under 12 years old and cannot yet get a vaccine, we will temporarily require masks at some church events, including Sunday worship. We are hopeful that this present surge will be brief, or that the vaccines for younger children that are currently in development will be approved soon and assist in shutting down this new surge of the delta variant. It is incredibly important to create as safe a place as possible for families to build up a church habit again after the disruptions of the past year.
Key points:
Please keep our communities, our healthcare providers, and our church in your prayers as we continue to fight this virus.

Key points:
- To protect kids at church, Masks will be required, even for vaccinated persons, at Sunday worship and Sunday school.
- Masks will be optional for vaccinated people at Coffee Hour (please wear a mask until you get to the tables), and children will be able to take a Coffee Hour treat to the Sunday School classrooms to eat, with masks required while not eating
- Adult ministries will be able to make a decision as a group whether they wish to wear masks or use the rule that vaccinated people can choose whether to wear one or not
- We will be steadily watching the virus rates and other major factors, especially children vaccine development and rollout, so as to review this regularly
Please keep our communities, our healthcare providers, and our church in your prayers as we continue to fight this virus.
