Worship services at St. Paul's reflect the warmth and hospitality of our parish
family. Visitors frequently comment not only the beauty of our liturgy, but how
at home they felt worshiping with us.
Worship at St. Paul's is a Christ-centered celebration of The Holy Eucharist (which
means "Thanksgiving") following the Book of Common Prayer. This service is also
sometimes referred to as the Mass or Holy Communion. Enriched by centuries of tradition,
our worship services bring Scripture alive in the context of the current world and
nourish us through Christ's real spiritual presence in the sacrament of consecrated
(blessed) bread and wine. We are inspired by God's Word and nourished by Christ’s
presence so we can grow closer to God and to serve others in Christ's name. All
baptized Christians are invited to receive the Holy Communion.
The 8:00 AM Sunday service is a contemplative service of The Holy Eucharist (Rite
I) using Elizabethan English in our prayers. Our 10:30 AM Sunday service is a celebration
of The Holy Euhcarist (Rite II) using contemporary English for our prayers and includes
organ, choir, and hymns sung by the congregation. The third Sunday of the month
is our Children's Eucharist at the 10:30 service and features prayers, music, and
a sermon designed for children.
Throughout the year we celebrate various seasonal services of worship and devotion
that include: Advent Lessons & Carols, Christmas, Lent, Holy Week, and Easter.
On the first Wednesday of every month we hold a Taize service featuring the contemplative
music and prayers of the ecumenical Taize community. In October 2006 we held our
first U2 Eucharist (U2charist) that features the music of U2 and highlights the
ONE Campaign & Millennium Development Gooals (MDGs) as part of our effort to
Make Poverty History.
We invite you to join us for worship at St. Paul's!
