The 8am Eucharist at Christ Church is Rite I, meaning it uses the more archaic "thee"/"thy" language of the Anglican Tradition. You can find this service in the online 1979 Book of Common Prayer here. The 8am service lasts about 45 minutes and does not include music. The service is followed by Coffee Hour in our Library.
Children & Sunday School
Kids are welcome at all services! Nursery care is provided for parents who wish to use it (not required) during the 10am service each week. Sunday School meets weekly during the academic year at 10am - the children enter for the second half of the Eucharist for Holy Communion.
About the Holy Eucharist
The Holy Eucharist (also called Mass or Holy Communion) is offered at Christ Church every single Sunday and on Holy Days. The service is always celebrated using the Book of Common Prayer, 1979. The Holy Eucharist is one of the two Dominical Sacraments and one of the seven Sacramental Rites in the Episcopal Church: Learn more about Sacraments here.
All are welcome to participate in the service. In the Episcopal Church all baptized persons are invited to receive the Holy Communion. Members of other Christian churches who are baptized are also invited to receive the Body and Blood of Christ. Persons who do not wish to receive the Holy Communion are invited also to come forward with everyone else to receive a blessing.
