Worship at St. Paul’s
Worship with Us
Worship is the center of our life together. St. Paul’s follows the Book of Common Prayer in the Anglican tradition, with Scripture, prayer, preaching, sacrament, sacred music, candles, vestments, and, on some occasions, bells and incense. Some services are spoken; others are sung by choir and congregation. Each offers space to encounter God in beauty, reverence, and community.

8 a.m. - Holy Eucharist, Rite II, spoken service

Holy Eucharist
Holy Eucharist is the principal service of worship in the Episcopal Church.
In this Communion service, we hear God’s Word in Scripture, pray together, and receive bread and wine in obedience to Jesus’ command. Through the sacrament, Christ gathers and strengthens us as one body.
Receiving Communion
All baptized Christians are welcome to receive Communion; you do not need to be Episcopalian or a member of St. Paul’s. When the congregation comes forward, stand or kneel at the altar rail and hold out your hands to receive the bread. You may drink from the chalice, receive by intinction when offered, or receive the bread alone. Receiving in one kind is a full reception of the sacrament.
Gluten-free bread is available. Tell the priest as they approach. If you cannot come forward, tell an usher and Communion can be brought to you.
If you prefer not to receive Communion, you are welcome to come to the altar rail for a blessing. Cross your arms over your chest so the priest will know your preference. You may also remain in your seat.
Morning Prayer
Morning Prayer gathers the community around Scripture, psalms, and prayer. St. Paul’s meets online on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 9 a.m.
Evensong
Evensong is a sung service of evening prayer with psalms, canticles, and Scripture readings. Rooted in the Anglican tradition, it offers a timeless and renewing pattern of prayer. Services are offered from September through May.
