Worship

We gather in our classic Georgian sanctuary each Sunday at 10:00 a.m. for worship. The order for worship reflects the particular traditions of the parish as well as those of the Christian church.

There are hymns, scripture readings, readings from non-scriptural sources, prayers, and a sermon, sometimes delivered from the pulpit, and sometimes from the midst of the congregation. The sacrament of the Lord's Supper is observed, simply, on the first Sunday of each month and all are invited to the table.

At the end of each service there is a "Quaker Parting," as we turn to shake the hand of the person next to us, as a sign that worship is over and as a symbol of community.

A highlight of the service is the "Time With the Young People of the Parish." Each week the minister sends the "church bag" home with a different child. The following Sunday, the minister improvises a short (and usually entertaining) sermon woven around whatever the child has put in the bag.
