What are services like?
Our 8 AM service of the Holy Eucharist is about 45 minutes long and takes place in the Chapel. It is a quiet service attended by about 15 to 20 people. There is no musuic but people sometimes sing a cappella. There is a sermon. Our 10:30 AM service is the main Sunday celebration and includes a vested choir that leads hymns and offers anthems accompanied by our excellent organ. A sermon is usually preached and members of the congregation take part in leading the celebration, which is always a Mass/Holy Eucharist. This is a joyful celebration that incorporates aspects of our rich Anglican heritage and blends newer contemporary elements. This celebration is usually about 90 minutes long.
