Join us this morning at 10 a.m. for the Second Sunday of Easter Service
This morning we offer a service of Morning Prayer. It has been said that Morning Prayer is a time in which we offer ourselves to God, and God to us; whereas Holy Communion is a time in which God offers Gods’ self to us in the Bread and Wine -the Body and Blood of Christ -and we to God. Morning Prayer strengthens that union with Christ celebrated in Holy Communion, and vice-versa. There is no Communion of bread and wine in this Sunday’s liturgy. Yet the liturgy invites each into a joyous lifting and giving of spirit for union with God, Christ, and each other.

Many parishioners will be familiar with Morning Prayer as a result of growing up using the 1928 Book of Common Prayer. Until the mid – late 1970’s, Morning Prayer was the primary Sunday service with Holy Communion celebrated once a month. The advent of the 1979 Book of Common Prayer (the one we currently use) established Holy Communion as the primary service on Sundays.
