We’re so glad you are thinking of worshiping with us. Whether this is your first time in an Episcopal church, or you’ve been speaking the language of the Book of Common Prayer since childhood, we welcome you. When you arrive, we hope you’ll talk with a parishioner or a member of the clergy. We invite you to leave some contact information if you wish, so we can be in touch. We also invite you to join us for refreshments after each service.

Here’s some information that may make it easier for you to get to know us.

How we worship:

The Episcopal Church is a liturgical church.  Lay people as well as ordained take roles in our services. We follow ancient rites that the church has adopted and adapted for contemporary use in the Book of Common Prayer and its supplement Enriching our Worship. Our services normally alternate week to week between Holy Eucharist and Morning Prayer. We usually print the entire service in the bulletin, including hymns, for ease in following the liturgy. If any part of our liturgy seems unfamiliar, please ask a neighbor and we’ll be happy to help you follow the service.  All are welcome in our liturgies. We are an inclusive church, with no barriers to participation, membership, or leadership based on gender, race or sexual orientation. Please see our priest or a lay leader if you are interested in participating in a ministry or serving as a reader, Eucharistic minister, acolyte, usher, altar guild member,  serving on a parish committee, or initiating a new ministry.

Children in the service

Children are welcome at all services. During the Program Year Sunday School is held on alternate Sundays, normally those Sundays on which we celebrate the Holy Eucharist.  We encourage children to participate in our services as acolytes, readers, offering musical gifts, or helping the ushers and altar guild; older young people may also serve as Eucharistic Ministers. 

Restrooms, accessibility, and the community room

We have handicap accessible restrooms located off in the hallway leading to the church sanctuary from the rear parking lot. There are also accessible restrooms on the second floor, which may be reached via an elevator.

While our church sanctuary is accessible, the altar area is reached by stairs. We will bring Communion to the base of the steps or to congregants at their seats as needed. Just let an usher know you wish to receive in this way.

Gluten free hosts are available at Communion. Let an usher or the clergyperson know of your need.

Refreshments and intergenerational activities take place in the McLure Community Room. This is the large room to the left as you enter our building from the parking lot. Sunday School for children is upstairs from the Community Room.
