Scripture: 1 Corinthians 12:4-6

We are all created in the image of God. Stop and think about that for a minute. What an amazing thing to realize! We are all different, yet all made by the same Creator, called to build up the kingdom for good. When we share our varying gifts and abilities with one another, we become co-creators with God. As we move through this new and different time in our lives, we will most certainly discover gifts we didn’t even know we had! Though social distancing and sheltering in place are challenging, they give us space and time to uncover new gifts which can show us new ways to serve, create, and engage with our family, church, and community.

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.
