Liturgical Events at Christ Church
Last year, Christ Church invested in the Next 100 years by installing a geothermal heating and air conditioning system throughout our campus. This is great news for our regular worshipping community during the heat of the summer. And so, we will continue the 5 pm service during the summer months on a trial basis. Here is what you can expect at our Sunday services:
8 am – A traditional said Holy Eucharist using the Elizabethan language of Rite I from the Book of Common Prayer with a sermon in the Lady Chapel. This service last approximately 40 minutes (this is the same service year-round).
10 am – Our primary service with music and nursery care. Children will be invited to join a member of the clergy for a children’s sermon during the first part of the service returning for communion. There will be fellowship time after the service either outside in the arcade or at a space inside depending on weather.
5 pm – A 40-minute Holy Eucharist service in the church in the early evening with a conversational style sermon (depending on the priest leading the service). During the summer months, beginning on May 24, this service will not have music.
We look forward to walking together during the summer months at Christ Church.
