Choose a Service Experience

Traditional language • Quiet & prayerful

Holy Eucharist - Rite I

Our early service uses the Rite I Eucharistic Prayer from the Book of Common Prayer. This prayer uses traditional language with "thees" and "thous." Don't let the early hour keep you away-a warm and friendly welcome awaits you.

Choir & organ • Classic Anglican worship

Holy Eucharist - Rite II

We use the Rite II Eucharistic Prayer from the Book of Common Prayer together with a full choir and organ. If you love congregational singing and a rich liturgical tradition, this service may be a perfect fit.

Waterfront Worship

Waterfront Worship offers a prayerful service with a more contemporary feel. We use a variety of prayers and often feature guitars, flute, and violin accompanying hymns ancient and modern-overlooking the water, weekly between Advent and Easter, in the children's courtyard, weather permitting.

This service runs concurrently with the Holy Eucharist Rite II service, offering two distinct worship settings at the same hour.

Choir & organ • Late morning

Holy Eucharist - Rite II (late service)

Prefer a later start? This service mirrors our Rite II at 9:00 a.m. with full choir and organ. Make it part of a your Sunday-sleep a little later, enjoy a slow coffee, and come ready to worship.

Saturday evening • Contemplative

Saturday Vigil Service

Calling a service a vigil is simply a way to express that it is on the eve of Sunday. Using the same readings as the Sunday liturgies, the vigil service has a contemplative feel, enhanced by a cantor and organ. This services begins in January and runs through Palm Sunday Eve.
