Worship is at the heart of any Christian body. Outward rituals and spoken words express the inner life of faith. In our worship we are truly one people of God.

* There is Sunday School every Sunday of summer, until Labor Day Weekend. Summer Sunday School, which runs from 9:25 to 10:15 AM, is always a combined class of elementary school age children. We alternate Sundays between more traditional Sunday lessons and music with Peter Robb, director of Oregon Festival Choirs. The ushers bring children back into the service in time to meet their families for the Peace and Eucharist.

 

If our worship is new to you, our services follow the Book of Common Prayer. This book, along with the Bible and our hymnal, has been a staple of worship in the Episcopal Church and the entire Anglican Community since the sixteenth century. The prayers, the creeds, the songs and the scriptures have been shaped by two thousand years of Christian worship which, in turn, have many of their roots in Jewish worship practices, joining us with people down through the ages who have raised their voices to worship God.  More detailed descriptions of our worship can be found in The Instructed Eucharist, and How We Worship.  For a description of the differences between the Rite I and Rite II services, click here.
