Our 10:30 am Holy Eucharist (Lord's Supper or Communion) incorporates contemporary music with a live band into the worship.

Other Services as Announced
Worship shapes us as God's people. Our typical Sunday worship is The Holy Eucharist (Communion, The Lord's Supper.) Our services are very participatory. Everyone has a part. The order for worship is found in The Book of Common Prayer (1979). These books are available in the worship area. Currently, we have a Traditional Worship Service at 8:00 am. This service has an organ and hymns. It uses the organ as its principle instrument and employs Elizabethan English. At 10:30 am, we have a Contemporary Worship Service. We reprint the order of service from the Prayer Book into a worship booklet that also contains contemporary songs that we sing. Our musicians at this service range from vocal to guitar, from flute to drums.
Here is a menu of a typical Sunday:
We Gather in the Lord's Name
Normally, we start with music
We Proclaim and Respond to Holy Scripture (Bible)
This includes Bible readings, music, a sermon, and a statement of belief.
Sometimes we incorporate dance, drama, other art forms, and silence
We Pray for the World and the Church
Prayer is the primary way we listen to God and tell him what is on our hearts and minds.
We Prepare Bread and Wine for The People
This is what Jesus did with his friends.
We Share the Bread and Wine
All Baptized persons may receive the Bread and Wine. Those not baptized may receive a blessing.
We Send Ourselves Back Into The World
We promise God that we will remember him in all we do and are.
