11:00 AM Eucharist each Sunday from September to Pentecost and at other special
events throughout the year. The Parish Choir sings a wide variety of the choral
literature using our vast choral heritage and seeking out the most durable music
of our time as well as the propers of the liturgy. The love of singing and a
commitment to attendance are needed.

Come and receive a warm welcome!
Matins
(Morning Prayer) will be prayed Thursday mornings at 10
a.m. in the Nave, and lasts about 25 minutes. We invite you to join us!
The first Christians continued the
Jewish practice of corporate prayer at certain times of the day (Acts 3:1,
10:9), principally morning and evening. Matins (or Morning Prayer) is one of the
historic prayer services that has been prayed with greater or lesser regularity
by Christians for centuries. Today, when we participate in this liturgy, we are
joining countless other Christians around the world who are praying this same
service (many of them every day).
