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 at 8am and 10am, occasionally Sundays at 5pm, and also on Holy Days and other occasions. The 10am celebration of the Holy Eucharist includes organ music, congregational hymnody, and during the academic year psalms, anthems, and motets sung by our choir. 

On the Last Sunday in the “Season after Pentecost” (also called “Ordinary Time”), the Church observes the Feast of Christ the King which emphasizes the true kingship of Christ over all earthly rulers and nations. The feast is a relatively recent addition to the liturgical calendar, instituted in 1925 by Pope Pius XI for the Roman Rite of the Catholic Church in the aftermath of World War I. The Episcopal Church and most other mainline Protestant churches adopted this feast, and it is contained in the Revised Common Lectionary used by those churches. The striking Christus Rex (“Christ the King”) above our altar features Jesus as Christ the King (see the crown on his head), Christ the High Priest (see the Eucharistic vestments he wears), Christ the Prophet (see the brown robe beneath his vestments), and Christ the Redeemer (see the snake below his feet that symbolizes redemption from sin).
