Every Sunday

8AM—Traditional (“Rite I”)—A quiet, formal service with an informal feel.  Silence alternates with the spoken word, using prayers that date back to the 1500’s in Elizabethan English.  Preaching is lively and folks are welcoming.  Everyone is invited to share in communion every week.  This service lasts about 50 minutes.

10AM—Contemporary (“Rite II”) with music—An “ancient and modern” experience as traditional organ hymns and chant alternate with contemporary pieces and global music led by guitar.  Children and youth are welcome to stay with their parents throughout the service or participate in activities just for them, then join their families for communion.  All ages are invited to share the bread and the cup every week.  The service is generally over about 11:15.  A warm welcome awaits you! 

10AM—Children’s Chapel—During the first part of our 10AM service, children ages 2-11 gather in a worship space just for them in our Parish House at 431 7^th Street.  Just like the grown-ups they sing (boisterously!), pray together, and learn to find their quiet place with God.  In Children’s Chapel kids absorb the stories of Jesus and God’s people through the colorful Beulah Land felt-board set, and afterwards pre-school and elementary children engage the stories through crafts, activities and discussion.  Nursery care is provided for babies and toddlers.  Children then join their families in “big church” 15 minutes before the service ends for communion. 

Second Sundays of the Month

7PM Taizé Evensong—A service of sung prayer in the evening in the style of the ecumenical community of monks at Taizé, France, this 45-minute service alternates jazz guitar, chant, spoken word, and silence in a candle-lit sanctuary.  You are welcome to simply sit and soak it in, or to participate in the singing… this experience truly requires nothing of you.  Come and simply be in the presence of the holy… and let your soul be refreshed.
