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 and organ music. 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. We are hopeful to resume sung hymns and our Canterbury Choir as soon as it is safe to do so!

Mask Wearing Changes, Effective June 1st
- The CDC guidelines call for observing local rules, and the Vestry expects us to as well. This may lead to additional measures to review in the future.
- Vestry members with various personal opinions about masks noted that wearing one can be an act of hospitality that makes other people feel more comfortable
- While masks are recommended in general as a good way to add a layer of safety, we will use the current CDC recommendation and allow those who have been fully vaccinated for at least 2 weeks (or the relevant time period recommended by the CDC) to attend church without a mask. Your vaccination status is on the honor system.
- Our policy still requires those who are not vaccinated to wear a mask.
- Anyone feeling ill or especially anyone with a fever is asked to attend worship via the live stream and to contact ministry/activity leaders about zoom options, which we expect to continue.
- Youth activities will continue to require masks at present, as youth under 12 are not currently eligible for vaccinations. This may be adjusted in the future by the Rector and our Director of Ministries.
- Congregational singing will now be allowed; those who choose to sing will be asked to wear a mask while singing as an additional layer of safety, because of the nature of using more breath and force while singing
