August 31st
The Sixteenth Sunday after Pentecost (Proper 17)
Lord of all power and might, the author and giver
of all good things: Graft in our hearts the love of your Name; increase
in us true religion; nourish us with all goodness; and bring forth in
us the fruit of good works; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives
and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God for ever and ever.
Amen.
Our early service is unaccompanied by music and usually lasts about 50 minutes. Coffee and fellowship are offered before the service begins in the parish hall, while the sanctuary is available for quiet prayer. Another coffee hour follows the service.
10am: Holy Eucharist
This Eucharistic service is accompanied by Organ and includes congregational hymns and service music. During the summer months our choir is on sabbatical and various musical offerings will be made during the liturgy. A coffee hour for kids and adults follows the service.
