Sunday Services

We hold one service at 9:30am. Every third Sunday will be a quiet, contemplative service without music. Services are also livestreamed here on Facebook so you can join us online if you are unable to make it in person.
Coffee Hour follows the 9:30AM service each week.
5:00 PM (3rd Sunday of every month): Clover Patch
On the 3rd Sunday of every month, we hold a special all-ages family service, designed with our youngest members (and their attention spans) in mind.
Light, kid-friendly dinner to follow. All ages are warmly invited.
6:00 PM (3rd Sunday of every month): St. Patrick’s Youth Group (ages 11-18)
Join us for dinner, games, and Bible study.
*Updated Fall/Winter 2025 Sunday Service Schedule
This fall, our schedule looks different to what we usually do. As we search for a new rector and navigate this time of transition we are sticking with our summer schedule of only one service on Sunday mornings.
Episcopal Liturgy
Our worship service is called a liturgy, which means the work of the people for the people. It is carefully constructed and has a rhythm that corresponds to a life of faith. The principal service of worship in the Episcopal Church is found in The Book of Common Prayer — a rich collection of scripture and prayers that has been used throughout the world since 1549. Over the years, the language has been updated and new services incorporated.
Order of Services & Eucharist
Our Sunday worship services are Eucharistic, and follow this order: Prayer, reading of scripture, sermon, holy communion (sometimes called Eucharist in the Episcopal Church). During our Eucharistic prayer, the congregation is invited to gather at the Lord’s table to share in the gift of bread and wine. This is our time to remember Christ’s sacrifice for us and to receive the bread and wine.
As we search for a new rector, we will occasionally have Sundays where we hold a Morning Prayer service, in place of Holy Eucharist. These services will follow a slightly different pattern from the Book of Common Prayer.
If you are familiar with the Episcopal Church, we use Rite II with the exception of Lent, when we use the more penitential Rite I.
About Our Musical Services
Every Sunday, except for the 3rd Sunday, we hold a musical service. The vast majority of our songs are played on either the organ or the piano, but we are happy to expand our repertoire if you have a musical gift you’d like to share. Our songs are pulled from both a traditional hymnal and some more modern sources.
Coffee/Social Hours
After the 9:30 service, you are welcome to stay behind to get know each other better during our coffee/social hour. If you would like to sponsor a coffee hour or be involved in this ministry please let us know!
Clover Patch Family Service
On the third Sunday of every month at 5:00pm, we hold our family service, an all-ages service that follows the same general structure of our Sunday morning services, but is designed with our youngest members in mind. Extra noise and wiggles are expected! Children may also participate in the service if they are comfortable doing so. All are warmly invited. The brief service is followed by a light, kid-friendly dinner.
