Whether you're trying to "squeeze church in" on a busy Sunday, or looking for a quiet, faithful community, you’ll find space and place here at the 8am eucharist each Sunday morning. We use the same prayers and language that we use at the 9:30 service, and some short, simple music. The intention here is to keep the early service shorter and reflective, while at the same time making it a little more like the later one in order to create a greater sense of connection between the two.

Sacred Ground Race Dialogue Circles

Racial Reconciliation

Sacred Ground is dialogue series on race, grounded in faith. Small groups are invited to walk through chapters of America’s history of race, racism, and whiteness while weaving in threads of family story, economic class, and political and regional identity. The 10-part series is built around a powerful online curriculum of documentary films and readings that focus on Indigenous, Black, Latino, and Asian/Pacific American histories as they intersect with European American histories.

Sacred Ground is a resource coming out of Becoming Beloved Community, The Episcopal Church’s long-term commitment to racial healing, reconciliation, and justice in our personal lives, our ministries, and our society. This series is especially designed to help white people talk with other white people, while being open to all racial/ethnic groups. Participants are invited to peel away the layers that have contributed to the challenges and divides of the present day – all while grounded in our call to faith, hope and love.
