Also called "Mass on the Grass," this provides a middle of the week opportunity to worship in a relaxed and casual environment. We begin at 6:30pm with readings, discussion, and sharing of communion, and follow with a pot luck community meal. Anyone may bring food for the grill if they like, but visitors are welcome to just bring themselves.

Worshipers sit in the choir stalls, near the High Altar. This is a spoken service with language that still includes "thees" and "thous" and sentences like "it is meet and right." The service is quiet and contemplative, with emphasis upon the poetry of the spoken word.

The sermon is slightly shorter, and the service never lasts more than 50 minutes, and sometimes is about a half hour. A breakfast is usually served afterward In Garmey Hall. (September-Mid June). 

This is a sung liturgy, the principal service of the day. From September through Late May our choir offers a rich and varied repertoire of music that reflects the diversity of our congregation and faith community. A rousing sermon that applies the historic faith to our contemporary challenges is preached. Children are always welcomed at mass, but  we also have professional child care available. Sunday School offered first Sunday of the month during the school year.

For those interested in seeking the deeper rhythm of the church, we offer Morning Prayer at 8am on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday.  The service is about twenty minutes, and includes the reciting of psalms, readings, silence, singing, and breathing. Please let the rector know if you plan to join us. *These are currently suspended

In the rhythm of the church, we often gather a few times during the year to remember major holy days and have a dinner. Traditionally we combine these feast days with some education and a dinner. Some feast days we have celebrated include:

The Epiphany, January 6th
The Presentation, February 2nd

The Annunciation, March 25h,

Ascension (usually sometime in May)

The Visitation, May 31

The Transfiguration, August 6

The Feast day of St. Bartholomew's, August 24

St. Francis Day, October 3
All Saint's Day, Nov 1

St. Andrews Day, Nov 30

St. Nicholas Day, Dec 6th

We sometimes transfer these days to other, more convenient dates. A great time to reflect and connect with others.

This is the most important week of the Christian Year, a time when we retell the story through liturgy, prayer, reverence, and story.

We begin with the Sunday of the Passion and it continues with a feast day that remembers Jesus' last supper, his crucifixion, his descent to the dead, and his resurrection. In 2018, Holy week begins on March 25th and ends with Easter, April 1.

The clergy and congregation offer pastoral care especially to those who are seeking the warm presence of people who would be companions when our earthly journey becomes difficult. This sort of work does not replace, although it may enhance, therapy or medicine.

The priest can come over and offer a blessing in your house, especially during the month of January.
