Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your heart and your minds in Christ Jesus. – Philippians 4:6

Regatherings and Corporate Worship

The word “Church” literally means “the assembled gathering,” as such, it is vitally important for us to regather, but to do so in a way that is charitable, loving toward our neighbors, and in accordance with all governmental and ecclesiastical authorities. In keeping with the most recent Executive Order from the Governor; masks are optional for those who are fully vaccinated and social distancing is only required in the Children’s Chapel and in designated seats in the Transepts.

Sunday morning Holy Communion

Beginning on June 6th, 2021 we have entered our fourth stage of reopening. This stage includes returning to one service of Holy Communion on Sunday mornings.

  • 9:30am with Children’s Chapel

Registration is only required for the 6ft distanced seats, the nursery, and the Children’s Chapel. To register, click here.

With Episcopal permission, we recommenced receiving Communion in both kinds (Bread and Wine) on Maundy Thursday, 2021. To see how our Communion Protocols work currently, please watch this video.

Tuesday and Thursday Morning Prayer

On Tuesday and Thursday mornings at 8:30am we will have Morning Prayer in the Sanctuary. Morning Prayer is a short, worshipful service full of scripture and prayer.

BETA: a dinner and conversation hour exploring topics of the Christian faith.
