During the school year, September through May, on the first Sunday of the month we have our Children and Youth service at 10:00 am. This is an opportunity for the youngest members of our church to help lead our worship. On these Sundays, instead of a traditional homily there is a special children’s message.
About our service
Since the time of the Apostles, Christian people have gathered for worship to remember Christ in the breaking of the bread and sharing the wine. This act of worship has many names; in the Episcopal Church we call this the Eucharist.
Parts of the Service
We gather in The Lord's name, with hymns and prayer.
We proclaim and respond to the Word of God, with readings from the Bible, the homily and the Nicene Creed.
We pray for the world and the Church
We exchange the Peace.
We share the gifts of God in the sacrament of Holy Communion, with bread and wine.
Participation
The clergy, lay ministers, acolytes and choirs have active roles in the service, but every member of the congregation has a role in the Eucharist. We all say the prayers together, we all sing the hymns, and we participate even in the quiet moments.
Holy Communion
We invite all persons to receive Holy Communion. If you are unable to come forward to the rail receive for any reason, please inform an usher and Communion will be brought to you. We receive in both bread and wine. Gluten-free bread is available. You are in full communion if you receive in one kind.
If you prefer a Blessing instead of receiving Communion, please cross your hands over your chest at the rail.
Newcomers
Welcome! We’re happy to have you with us at St. Francis no matter the location - online or live. If you are new to worship with us please fill out a guest card so that we may welcome you!
The service bulletin contains all you will need to follow the service and our Ushers are happy to answer questions and offer assistance.
