Worship
Holy Eucharist (Communion)
The center of the life of the church is communal worship—and at Christ Church the focus of worship is the Holy Eucharist. Each Sunday we gather to share in the mystery of Christ’s presence in bread and wine, made for us into the living presence of the Christ. At Christ Church all ages participate in the Eucharistic celebration.

New SATURDAY Services
Saturday Evening Eucharists start on April 13 at 5:00 PM. Although having all of us together for ‘corporate worship’ remains a tradition and a goal, our busy schedules suggest that we add a service to make weekly worship more accessible. We will keep all our Sunday services as well. The Saturday service and the Sunday evening service will have ‘child accessible’ homilies.
Weddings, Baptisms, etc.
Christ Church is a family church! We embrace and celebrate those rites that are central to family life. Are you planning a wedding? Would you like to schedule a baptism for your child or yourself? Perhaps you need to know more about communion or confirmation? We can help you.

Participate in the Service
In addition to clergy participation in the liturgy, we also have a large group of lay-people who regularly assist at the Eucharist. This includes lectors, intercessors, lay-Eucharistic ministers, acolytes, choristers and members of the altar guild. Young people in junior and senior high school are also encouraged to participate as lectors and intercessors.
