Scripture: Hebrews 12:1

We live in an isolating time. Although social distancing is necessary for the health and safety of our society, it can also make us feel lonely as we are confined to our homes. It might feel especially lonely as we celebrate Holy Week this year, since we are unable to gather in community in our churches like we normally do. This verse from Hebrews reminds us that, even when we feel lonely, we are never truly alone on our faith journey. We join the whole communion of saints--past, present, and future--in running toward the cross and the empty tomb.

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.
