About Worship Today
-
Today is the Day of Pentecost, the fiftieth day of Eastertide. The Church recalls its roots in the house of Israel as it celebrates the conclusion of a “week of weeks,” that is, the Easter Season of seven weeks. Pentecost is a traditional day for baptisms, and in the Prayer Book tradition of the Episcopal Church, Pentecost is also know as “Whitsunday” because the baptized are clothed in white garments. The liturgical color for the day, however, is red, symbolizing the fire of the Holy Spirit. Ordinary time, the “Season after Pentecost,” begins tomorrow. Next Sunday, the first Sunday after Pentecost is Trinity Sunday.
-
The Holy Eucharist, the principal act of Christian worship on the Lord's Day and other major Feasts, and Daily Morning and Evening Prayer, as set forth in the Book of Common Prayer, 1979, are the regular services appointed for public worship in the Episcopal Church. At Christ Church we celebrate the Holy Eucharist every Sunday, and also on Holy Days and other occasions.
-
Today’s liturgy is from the red Book of Common Prayer 1979. All hymns are taken from the blue Hymnal 1982 or other authorized hymnals for use in the Episcopal Church. All hymns are reprinted with permission under OneLicense.net A713125.
