What to Expect

What are services like?
* 8:00 Sunday - contemplative, traditional (Rite 1) Eucharist service with full-length engaging sermon, no music -- an early start to get you on your way; * 10:00 Sunday church - Contemporary language Eucharist service. Music, children and youth of all ages, sign language interpreter, with hymns and other music from varied sources; * 10:00 Sunday chapel - traditional Eucharist or Morning Prayer service in intimate setting with traditional hymns; *11:30 Wednesday chapel - Said service with laying on of hands for healing, if desired.

What is the community like?
Intriguing, friendly, varied in terms of age, occupation, and probably political leanings. Interests are in prayer, community fellowship, social action (particularly around homelessness), and environmental issues. We welcome all ages: infants to college students to senior citizens.

What if I'm not a Christian?
Come join us anyway. You're welcome to question here. Although coming together at the altar for communion is central to who we are, you are welcome if you don't feel comfortable doing so or would just like to be blessed by our clergy.
