Worship

If you want to know who we are, you have to worship with us. That's not a ploy to get you to come to church, it's true! Episcopalians are defined by our worship. You can find out the most about us by joining us for the Holy Eucharist, our principal worship event. You may know this service by other names, the Lord's Supper, Holy Communion, or Mass. We worship from the Book of Common Prayer, our calling card, if you will. For a great online glossary of worship terms, go here.

Take a look at some Frequently Asked Questions about our worship.
