Worship

“At St. Mary’s we believe the altar is God’s table, not our table, and everyone is always welcome to receive, no matter what.  Consider yourself invited, and invite others.  And walk in love as Christ loves us.”

Worship is the heartbeat of our life together.  It is our center, our focus, and our strength.

Please join us for worship at any of our weekly services.

Sunday Services

10:00 – Eucharist
(weekly – in person and virtual via Zoom)

At this service, parishioners enjoy a mix of contemporary and traditional styles. Fed by inspirational sermons, and uplifting music that connects us to the world while honoring our Episcopal heritage, we value our diverse approach to worship.

Our love, support and celebration of each other and our lives is embedded in our worship by including a time of blessings and thanksgiving along with a call to action in the world.

We deeply value intergenerational relationships and all-ages access to participation in worship. Young, old, and in between, all are welcome.

Weekday Services

Monday – 7:30pm Compline
(monthly in summer – virtual via Zoom)

Compline is a prayer service descended from the Night Prayers said before bed in monastic life. This simple service includes a confession, psalms, verse and response, the Lord’s Prayer and collects asking God’s protection during the night to come. Using the Book of Common Prayer, participants in this service take turns leading the evening’s gathering.

Thursday – 7:00pm Contemplative
(weekly – in person and virtual via Zoom)

Gathering in the chapel area of the sanctuary—or, weather-permitting, outdoors in the garth garden–the Contemplative service offers participants a tranquil, candle-lit space to reflect during the week. The lay-led service consists of two periods of silent meditation (10- and 15-minutes) surrounded by prayer and varying genres of short readings: poetry, prose, Scripture. The service lasts approximately 45 minutes. Join us for an oasis of calm in the midst of your busy week.
