About the Liturgy (the way we do things during worship)
Rather than being designed to meet personal preferences, the shape of the liturgy keeps our focus on God and the story of his love toward his creation, in which the life, death, resurrection and ascension of Jesus are the climax. This story shapes and directs the lives of God’s people, helping us to become more and more like Him.
Anglican worship has seven main components: 1) Gathering, 2) Confessing sin and receiving the assurance of forgiveness, 3) Reading and responding to scripture, 4) Affirming our faith, 5) Praying, 6) The Lord’s table (communion) and 7) Being sent out. Singing is interspersed throughout, and we sit, kneel or stand at various times.
Are Children Welcome?
Children are a great blessing and always welcome! The goal on Sunday morning is not to simply keep children quiet or to stop them from “being a distraction”, but rather, to help them encounter God, and to learn how to worship with the church family. During our 10am Sunday service, children are with us for most of the service, but during the readings and sermon, they are invited to participate in children’s programs where they can learn at their own age-appropriate level. We have classes for pre-school, and primary. They rejoin us at the offering to be present for communion.
