Sunday Worship
Rite I: Sunday 7:45 AM
The early service at St. Paul’s is a quiet, spoken, celebration of the Holy Eucharist according to Rite I. For those not familiar with the Book of Common Prayer, Rite I uses the classic Elizabethan language of previous prayer books, which generations of Anglicans/Episcopalians have found meaningful.
Rite II: Sunday 10:00 AM
This service is a dignified and yet accessible celebration of the Holy Eucharist (also known as Communion, The Lord’s Supper, or The Mass) according to Rite II, which uses the modern language of the 1979 Prayer Book. Featuring music, our 10:00 AM service welcomes individuals of all ages, including families with children of any age.
Useful Information about our Services
Our weekly services offer a rich tapestry of prayer, Scripture, preaching, and worship.
Children can enjoy our Sunday School programs starting at 9:45 a.m., with children in Kindergarten and older joining their parents for Holy Communion after the sermon. Music is an important part of our 10:00 AM service, where the St. Paul’s choir helps to lead hymns, the psalm, and the other sung portions of the liturgy. Children have opportunities to assist by serving as acolytes and reading lessons on special youth Sundays. Adults assist as Eucharistic Ministers, Greeters, Ushers and Lectors. The adult choir welcomes new members as well.
All baptized Christians, no matter what church affiliation, are welcome to receive communion. For more information, visit our Sacraments page.
