Anglican Worship
Worship is the centre of parish life; a regular opportunity to be together in community before God. The Eucharist, or Holy Communion, is the focus of worship, an opportunity for spiritual refreshment in a setting that recreates Christ’s last supper with his disciples. As the writer Kathleen Norris suggested in her book, Amazing Grace, regular worship is like the chorus in a song or a hymn: a regular refrain that anchors the variety of verses in our weekly life.

Regular Sunday Worship:
Holy Communion
8:30 am and 7:00 pm
Our 8:30 am service of Holy Communion is a traditional Anglican Eucharist using the Book of Alternative Services (in use since the 1980s).
From September until late spring, the evening services present an opportunity to explore other types of worship: Choral Evensong with Holy Communion on the first Sunday of most months; a spoken Holy Communion service on the second Sunday; Taizé singing with Holy Communion on the third Sunday (except December); a Communion service with Healing Prayer on the fourth Sunday; and Holy Communion from the Book of Common Prayer on fifth Sundays (in January 2012, this arrangement will shift one week to accommodate New Year's Day: Evensong, 8 January; Taizé, 22 January, Healing, 29 January).
Wednesday Worship
Holy Communion
10:00 am
The mid-week service of Holy Communion uses the traditional language of the Anglican Church based upon the 1962 Book of Common Prayer.
