Worship services differ in size, atmosphere, and formality, yet they all include beautiful music, prayer, relevant preaching, and a welcoming table for all of God’s children. Grounded in ancient tradition and the timeless poetry of The Book of Common Prayer, Episcopal worship is participatory and embodied.

Our weekly feast of bread and wine is known as the Holy Eucharist. The word “Eucharist” originates from an ancient Greek word meaning “thanksgiving.” Jesus instituted the Eucharist “on the night he was betrayed.” At this Last Supper, he shared bread and wine at a sacred meal with his disciples, commanding them and us to “do this” in remembrance of him. 

The Holy Eucharist is the central act of Christian worship. It is the ultimate expression of thanksgiving, commemorating Christ’s supreme sacrifice and God’s boundless love. 

Whenever we gather at Christ’s table, our eyes are opened to Christ’s presence. In taking, blessing, breaking, and sharing, by the power of the Holy Spirit, we are made one body, the body of Christ sent forth to live the Way of Love.
