Worship in the Episcopal Church is ...

• Ordered. This means that we follow a specific form that has been used since ancient times ... not word for word, but idea by idea. Our worship is not chaotic, but carefully planned. That doesn't mean there aren't times of spontaneity, but those of us who participate regularly always have a good idea of what's coming next. Familiarity can be a source of comfort and strength.
  
  
• Seasonal. We follow a Christian calendar that also goes back to ancient times and that is marked by changing seasons, changing colors, and changing themes. Holidays are the highlights, but they all fit into a pattern that carries us through together, year by year.
  
  
• Musical. Well, our 8:00 on-site service is without music because some people prefer their prayers to be wrapped in gentle silence. But our 10:30 service draws on many threads of musical tradition from the ancient to the present-day.
  
  
• Biblical. The Book of Common Prayer, which lays out the structure of our services, has also been called "the Bible rearranged for the purpose of group prayer." Those who are familiar with the Bible are sometimes surprised by how its contents infuse every moment of our worship.
