This is our parish family and it nurtures us . . .

Worship is central to the spiritual life of Christ Church parishioners.  Our sanctuary provides a beautiful worship space in which we celebrate, offer prayers and live out our faith within a community of believers.  This parish has a rich liturgical tradition and each of our worship services has it own characteristics.

   Sunday Worship Services

Sundays we offer three services with the celebration of the Holy Eucharistic as the focal point of each.  Our 8:00 a.m. service has a dedicated following of parishioners who enjoy the first version of the priest's sermon.  A quiet celebration, the 8:00 a.m. service has no music.   The 9:00 a.m. service is often referred to as the 'family service'.  This service offers the traditional adult sermon as well as a child-friendly sermon geared for the younger audience.  Children are encouraged to participate in communion with their parents if desired.    The 11:00 a.m. service is traditional and more formal than our other offerings.  This service is referred to as the 'choral Eucharist'.  The procession of choir, acolytes, vergers, clergy and other lay leaders sets the tone for this Eucharistic Celebration. 

** The Summer Schedule takes effect from Memorial Day through Labor Day.  Each Sunday, there is a 8:00 a.m. service and a 10:30 a.m. service.  During the week, a Communion and Healing Service is offered on Wednesday at 12:05 p.m.  in the Sanctuary.  There is no Wonderful Wednesday during the summer schedule.

  Midweek Worship Services

During the week, there is a Communion and Healing service on Wednesday at 12:05 p.m. in the Sanctuary.  As a downtown church, we are able to offer this service as an outreach to our community as well as to our own flock.  Participants are encouraged to bring a sack lunch and meet afterward for food and fellowship. 

Wonderful Wednesday activities include programs for adults, youth, and children.  Wednesday evening supper begins at 6:00 p.m. with meals catered.  Classes and activities promptly begin at 6:30 p.m. and commence at 7:30 p.m.    
 

   Sermons

Christ Church is blessed with ordained ministers who possess a profoundly deep understanding of God. Our clergy share the substance of this understanding in many ways. One of the most accessible is through their insights and observations as expressed in the weekly homily. As anyone attending a church service at Christ Church knows, these sermons are frequently punctuated by laughter, and the presence of God’s Spirit is often palpable.

We hope you'll enjoy these important messages. You may listen to them and share them with friends, family and anyone else who may benefit from a deeper understanding of God's love.
