If You Visit Our Church

 

         You will find that we are a warm and inviting community which will make room for your participation in the life of the parish at whatever level you find comfortable.

         Our worship services are somewhat traditional in form yet

somewhat informal, and always spirit filled, in its celebration. Children

are welcome at all services, though child care and Sunday school are only

available at the later services.

         Upon entering the church, you will notice that the appropriate dress is whatever you feel comfortable in.You will be greeted by ushers who will hand you a bulletin and, if you desire, help you find a seat. If you will require the use of a headset, bathroom, or if you need communion brought to you in the pew, the usher will assist you.

         The bulletin you will be handed has the page numbers in the Book of Common Prayer (red book) for you to follow as well as the hymn numbers (in the blue hymnal or Lift Every Voice and Sing (LEVAS) Any parishioner will be eager to help, if you get lost. Though the bulletin gives instructions regarding when to sit, stand and kneel, you are welcome to use whatever posture suits your own tradition or devotion.

         The offering that is collected during the service is for the support of the church staff, facilities and mission.We are completely dependent upon parishioners voluntarily sharing with us a portion of the treasure God has given to them.

         Everyone (regardless of age) is invited to receive Communion.

          Please sign our guest book in the entrance way of the church and here on our web site. Except during the summer, please join us after the later services for fellowship and refreshments in the parish hall across the walkway from the church.

         You are invited to join us for worship or any parish event. Please contact the

Parish Office for further information.
