SUNDAY SERVICES

We gather together on Sundays at 10:30 a.m. to worship God and celebrate the Eucharist (Holy Communion).

The service begins with music, readings from the Bible, a sermon that reflects on the readings, prayers, Communion (the sharing of bread and wine), more prayers, and more singing. This act of coming together as a community in prayer and fellowship allows us to praise God and allows us to grow in our faith enriched in the knowledge of God’s love and forgiving grace. All baptized Christians are welcome to receive Holy Communion in the Anglican church.

A brief children’s message is offered before the sermon/reflection each Sunday. In addition, the last Sunday of each month is a children’s service. During this service, children take on a larger role in the service, leading the readings and participating in the various activities.

Please join us at the back of the church for light refreshments and an opportunity to get to know one another following the Sunday service.


TUESDAY QUIET TIME

Tuesday Quiet Time – 6:00 to 7:00 p.m.

Life can be hectic these days! Sometimes we can all use some time to step out of the chaos of our day-to-day lives and just take a moment to catch our breath and talk to God. If that sounds like something you could use, why not join us on Tuesdays between 6:00 and 7:00 p.m. for a period of quiet? No formal service is offered. Stay for a few minutes, or stay for the hour. Use the time to catch your breath, reflect on your blessings or your needs, talk to God, catch up on your spiritual reading, or whatever it takes to rest and rejuvenate your soul so that you are ready to continue with your day.

We’re also in the process of planning a Tuesday evening service. Watch for details, coming soon.


WEDNESDAY EUCHARIST & STUDY

Join us on Wednesdays at 10:00 a.m. for a mid-week Eucharist service, followed by a study, and fellowship.

The study program is led by our clergy, members or special guests. Study topics are selected by the participants. Each topic lasts several weeks. Recent study topics have included such diverse topics as:
– Science, Religion and the Universe

All are welcome to attend and participate in the discussion.
