What Sunday looks like

Our worship is distinguished by rich tradition, sacred music, and the participation of our diverse community. We are centered in the Eucharist and the Book of Common Prayer — and no one has to know the words to belong.

  • Valet parking is available every Sunday morning.
  • A soft worship space for children sits at the front left of the sanctuary; childcare is available at 10:30.
  • Coffee and refreshments in the Guild Hall after the 10:30 service — please stay.
Everything a first-timer needs

Young families

Bring the kids. Noise and all.

Wiggles are welcome here. There's a soft worship space at the front of the sanctuary, childcare during the 10:30 service, and a row of parents who have been exactly where you are this morning. Your child will be known by name.
