We pray our early morning celebration of the Holy Eucharist using The Book of Common Prayer’s Rite I. The 8:00a service includes readings from Holy Scripture, a sermon, prayers, and the celebration of Holy Communion.
Early Church is a brief but liturgically and spiritually rich service where our youngest church members can sing, pray, learn about Jesus, and worship in a setting created just for them. With special attention to elementary-age children, this service welcomes all who enjoy a participatory and fun worship, a gospel-centered story time, and familiar music that’s easy to sing along with.
We customarily pray this mid-morning service in The Book of Common Prayer’s Rite II. Supported by the choral leadership of the Good Shepherd Choir and organ, the service includes readings from scripture, a sermon, congregational hymns, prayers for God’s Church, the world, ourselves, and one another, and the celebration of the Holy Eucharist.
Our second primary service of mid-morning worship, Communion Café blends traditional, Episcopal worship and a relaxed, inclusive setting. Supported by the choral and musical leadership of a live, acoustic band, Communion Café includes readings from scripture; a sermon; prayers; congregational singing; and the celebration of the Holy Eucharist.
The Hill’s Sunday worship follows a slightly less-traditional Episcopal liturgy in a comfortable setting. Prayed in the Book of Common Prayer’s Rite II, and supported by the musical leadership of a live, acoustic band, the Hill’s worship includes readings from scripture, a sermon, prayers, congregational singing, and the celebration of Holy Eucharist. This service typically includes interpreters for American Sign Language (ASL). Children of all ages are welcome to attend the service with their families.
Our evening worship offers a more meditative, intimate atmosphere, acknowledging with prayer the close of day. The service includes readings from scripture, a sermon, prayers, congregational hymns led by organ, and the celebration of the Holy Eucharist.
On appointed Sundays throughout the year, the Good Shepherd Choir leads Choral Evensong for our 6:00p service. Evensong, a music-rich setting of Evening Prayer, is among our most traditionally Anglican liturgies, witnessing the Church’s ancient devotion of praying each day’s hours. At Good Shepherd, this service comprises choral anthems, plainsong chant, congregational hymnody, scripture readings, and the celebration of the Holy Eucharist.
This service is a livestream of our 10:30a service in the Windsor nave. More information about online worship here.
This quiet, reflective service takes time to pray specifically for those whose names appear on our prayer lists – those who suffer in any way, our expectant mothers and newborn babies and their families, those who have died, and those serving in the armed forces. Anointing of the Sick is offered to those who so desire, and the liturgy concludes with Holy Communion.
