ABOUT WORSHIP AT CHRIST CHURCH

All are welcome to join and participate in any of the worship services held at Christ Church. Every Sunday there are two services at which the Holy Eucharist is celebrated. Occassionaly we offer Sunday evening worship opportunities.  Special liturgies take place on selected Holy Days and during Holy Week.

The Eucharist is the primary worship service of the church on Sundays and Holy Days. It is also called “Mass” or “Holy Communion”. The service always includes a sermon.

A said Rite I Mass lasts a bit less than an hour. Rite I services are celebrated using tradition Anglican English (“thee” and “thy”).

A Sung Rite II Mass with music lasts a bit longer than an hour and includes well-known hymns, choral anthems, and organ improvisation. Rite II services are celebrated using contemporary/modern day English language.

Said Mass on Holy Days is less than 30 minutes and is celebrated using Rite II.  Please double check our calendar for special events that may affect our normal Sunday schedule.


CHILDREN IN WORSHIP

Children of all ages are always welcome in church.  A great place for children to see, hear and participate is in the front pews of the church.  Also, childcare is available in the Nursery every Sunday during the 10:00 AM Holy Eucharist.

Church School is offered during the academic year from September until June.  Church School begins at 10:00 AM each Sunday and last for about 40 minutes.  After Church School activities, the children join the rest of the congregation for the Holy Communion.

Our Children’s Choir sings anthems or other musical pieces on Christmas, Easter, other Holy Days, when the Bishop visits the Parish, at the Christmas Pageant, and every Family Sunday.

About once a quarter we offer a “Family Sunday” worship service at 10:00 a.m.  On Family Sunday there is no Church School program and all of the children, Church School teachers, and families are in church for the entire worship service.  On Family Sunday children or teens read the lessons and serve as ushers and our Children’s Choir sings.
