Our worship style
We offer one regular worship service on Sundays at 10:30 am for in-person and virtual Zoom participation. Our liturgical style is participatory and generally low-church. Although our sanctuary includes a high altar, for the last two decades we have celebrated the service from a floor level altar table.
What to expect during worship
During worship, members of the congregation are invited to read the daily readings and psalms. After the homily, we offer a time for community reflection where all are invited to come up and share a reflection further opening the Word, making this a “participatory homily.” On any given Sunday, we may hear reflections from a vestry member, someone who is attending for the first time, or a homeless guest who is seeking refuge at the church.
What we value
We value inclusive language that is accessible to the diversity of our congregation. We draw on The Book of Common Prayer as well as other global Anglican resources like A New Zealand Prayer Book. We create a new worship bulletin for each liturgical season, and also honor other ecumenical/secular seasons like the Season of Creation, Black History Month, and Pride Month, where we celebrate the lives and contributions of our LGBTQ+ members. Our worship explores questions and encourages faith exploration rather than requiring answers and certainty.
