Scripture: Psalm 28:8-9

Sometimes we pray for ourselves and our needs, but we also are called to pray for others. Prayers of intercession are prayers that we pray on behalf of others. When we pray for our family, or friends, or the world, we are sharing prayers of intercession with God. As you go through today's activities, hold close to your heart the people in the world who need us to pray on their behalf today.

Holy Eucharist

Sunday, August 14, 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM

Worship in the Episcopal Church rests on scripture and the traditions of the elegant language of the Book of Common Prayer. While the worship might seem more formal than spontaneous, we reliably read scripture every time we worship together, and we follow the liturgy that has stood the test of time. Our worship is in letting the liturgy carry us along into a deeper spiritual awareness and connection with God.
