A Typical Sunday at St. Paul's

10:30 A.M. Worship Service

This service is usually a Rite II service, which means it follows the Order of Worship found beginning on page 355 of the Book of Common Prayer, a liturgy using modern language. On the first Sunday of the month we use contemporary renewal music rather than the hymnal, and the children remain in worship with a short sermon prepared especially for them. The rest of the month, the children follow the cross out of worship during the sequence hymn for a short Sunday School time, returning to the service in time to receive Communion with their parents.

Occasionally, we will use Rite I (BCP, page 323) which uses Elizabethan language. This service is pleasing to many who were brought up using the ancient language of the former prayer book however; we do not use it on a regular basis.

11:30 A.M.

Each Sunday following worship, we gather in the narthex (the entrance hall) for refreshments and visiting. On the first Sunday of the month, the parish gathers for a potluck meal. Our visitors are welcomed and encouraged to stay and enjoy the food and fellowship!
