Sunday Schedule
8:00 a.m. Holy Communion: Rite I (followed by light breakfast in the Parish Hall)
9:15 a.m. Christian Education
10:30 a.m. Choral Eucharist (followed by a light buffet in the Parish Hall. A nursery is available; please ask an usher for assistance).
A Children's Chapel program provides the opportunity for young people to explore the lectionary text of the week in story-form. Additionally the children learn the words of the hymns and experience their own social time together before joining their parents in Church for The Eucharist.
Among the many opportunities for children the Sunday School and the Youth Choir are the most important. Other activities include the Blessing of the Animals, Advent wreath making, the Christmas Pageant and an Easter Egg Hunt have become traditional.
The Episcopal Young Church people (EYC) and Journey To Adulthood (J2A) programs provide junior-high and adolescent young people the opportunity not only to socialize with their peer age but also to participate as full members of the Church through serving as Acolytes, ushering, participating in the Choirs, providing Shrove Tuesday pancake suppers and Easter hunts. The J2A group has made pilgrimages to Italy and Greece and brought back from one of their trips the beautiful hand-painted gold-leaf icon for the Parish Hall.
The Parish members comprise a spectrum of ages whose diverse interests range from attending the regular organ, chamber and choral concerts and neighborhood social get-togethers, to enthusiastic participation in various choral musical groups, actively serving in a variety of liturgical functions, or ministering through social out-reach and lay-visitation with the sick, the needy, and our elderly. Bible study and theological and inspirational reading and discussions, helping with the marvelous constant offerings of wonderful food at the church, and even maintaining and enhancing the church gardens and physical faculties are all attractive possibilities. In the Anglican Tradition, truly “the Church is the (activity of) the people of God.”
