Worship
Worship, with Grace
We embrace the beauty and poetry of The Book of Common Prayer in our worship. We look to this rich collection of prayers and liturgies not because we don’t have anything new to say, or are simply going through the motions, but because we believe that the faith and wisdom of past generations is wonderful inspiration for us today. Our services tend toward reverent formality, because we believe that worship is first and foremost for God, not us, and all of our movements and actions and words should point us toward the Lord. Our services are multi-sensory and participatory, so in addition to glorious music and compelling preaching there are bells and smells, kneeling and standing, prayers and songs, and most importantly, the sharing in Holy Communion with God and one another.
