Services |
Sunday Services8:00 am Service -- Book of Common Prayer CommunionOur 8:00 am service is a said version of the Book of Common Prayer Eucharistic Service. It is low key and contemplative. 9:30 am Service -- Contemporary WorshipShout for joy to the LORD, all the earth. The Contemporary worship at St. Mark & St. Philip’s is a joyful celebration of our relationship with God. This service is held in the gymnasium and while it is a more casual setting than the church proper, all of the elements of worship are there. To begin each of our services, and throughout, we will make a joyful noise unto our God with the leadership of our Praise Team. This talented group of musicians leads us in song using guitars, a banjo, percussion instruments and beautiful harmonies. On the second, fourth and fifth Sundays of each month we celebrate the Holy Eucharist. We combine common liturgical styles with some progressive language. For instance, we may use the form of The Lord’s Prayer that most people are familiar with or we might use a different form like the one from the New Zealand Prayer Book. On the first and third Sundays we hold our “Prayer and Praise” service. This service has more emphasis on attaining a prayerful presence in honour of God. All services emphasize the word of God as found in scripture and include a homily which is intended to make the readings relevant and to inspire everyone with hope and strength to carry on in our call to go out and serve others as Christ served us. Sunday school is offered at this service. 11:00 am Service -- Book of Common Prayer Holy CommunionThe 11 am service is a traditional sung Book of Common Prayer service. It is an ideal service for those who enjoy the Anglican tradition at its finest and who strengthen their relationship with God through liturgy. The organist Rune Vibegaard and the choir offer beautiful traditional Anglican hymns as well as leading the congregation in the sung responses. Sunday school is also offered at this service. |
