St. Thomas Episcopal Church

Our Saturday evening service is in our chapel. We hear three separate readings from the Bible, and say some verses from a Psalm. The sermon usually focuses on our daily life as viewed through the prism of the scripture readings. Normally, we recite the Nicene Creed together, corporately confess our sins, and pray together for one another and for the world. Then we celebrate the Eucharist. We are typically finished by about 5:45 PM.

Children start off with their parents and then are invited down to Children's Chapel during the Liturgy of the Word. Children younger than 4 are welcome to be in our Pray-Ground at the front of the church. The children from Children's Chapel come into the service usually just prior to the exchange of the Peace.

Our Wednesday service meets in the Chapel. We often use an alternate liturgy, such as one from Enriching Our Worship, or the New Zealand Prayer Book. We hear about the life of a saint from Holy Women, Holy Men, and discuss how their story interacts with our lives or our reading of the biblical texts. We often offer Laying on of Hands and Anointing as part of this service.
