Sunday Worship
8:00 am - HOLY EUCHARIST
This is a
quiet, intimate, reflective liturgy, with little or no
music. A number of 8:00-ers gather in at the nearby
Creighton's Bakery Cafe for conversation after the liturgy,
and are often joined by those about to attend the 10:00.
10:00 am - HOLY EUCHARIST
The 10:00 is a
larger and much more extroverted liturgy. It includes a wide
variety of music led by our parish music group of
instrumentalists and vocalists. A Coffee Hour in the Parish
Hall follows this liturgy.
5:00 pm - COMMUNITY OF TRAVELERS WORSHIP WITH
COMMUNION
So there’s lots of ancient tradition at the Community of
Travelers Service, but there’s also some innovation. This
fresh expression of worship always include a time called
“Open Space” in which we slow down for prayer and other
opportunities to actively engage the Gospel – Praying with
icons, sermon sharing, or making art before we share holy
communion.
Once a month we have a liturgical potluck within the context
of holy communion. Aimed towards young adults and children
(young at heart always welcome), we meet every week at St.
Aidan's for a worship experience and for fellowship Sunday
afternoons at 5 PM. A festive Happy Hour follows the service
around the altar table.
CHILDREN
We love
children! The nursery with an experienced nanny is provided
for infants and children age 6 months to 2 ˝ years from 9:45
until 12:00 every Sunday. Sunday school is offered for
children age 3 and up from 9:45. You may drop the children
off on our playground or in the parish hall and the children
will rejoin their family in the worship space at the Passing
of the Peace and will stay for the service of Holy
Communion. Children are also welcome to stay throughout the
8:00 or 10:00 liturgy; a rug with toys and art supplies are
available in the worship space. Children from Grade 6 are
encouraged to be acolytes and participate in the service.
There is a quarterly All-Age worship service in which
children and youth of the parish, as well as those who are
young at heart, serve as greeters, acolytes, readers, offer
a Gospel drama, lead the prayers, sing the songs, and assist
at coffee hour.
Wednesday Evening - Sunday on Wednesday
6:00 pm - HOLY EUCHARIST
The 30
minute, informal service consists of Eucharist (Holy
Communion), readings from Scripture, prayers for the
community, and informal sermon sharing. This service is
for anyone wanting to attend a mid-week liturgy or
anyone who is not able to attend a Sunday morning
Eucharist. All are welcome!
