Worship is the anchor of our life together.

Each week, our whole community gathers to immerse ourselves in scripture, to pray for our own needs and the needs of our world, and to allow God's grace to feed us in the celebration of Holy Communion.

If you visit St. Paul's for worship, you will find:

• Our worship is sacramental. We celebrate the Holy Eucharist (also often called Holy Communion or the Mass) as our principal act of worship. We believe that sacraments are outward and visible signs of an inward and spiritual grace - they are sure ways by which God bestows abundant grace upon God's people.
  
  
• Our worship is biblical. All of our worship features extensive readings from Holy Scripture. In our Sunday Worship, we follow a lectionary, an ordered guide through the Bible. Each Sunday, you will hear from Old Testament, the New Testament, and a reading from one of the four Gospels.
  
  
• Our worship is relevant. Our sermons seek to dig deep into the scriptures each week, and explore how they apply to us in our lives today. We believe that to be a disciple of Jesus Christ is just as necessary today as it was two thousand years ago.
  
  
• Our worship is reverent. We believe that to engage in worship and to participate in the sacraments is to experience God's transcendent presence as we are and with what we have to offer. We meet God in worship as ordinary people, offering ordinary bread and wine, and believe God makes it holy.. When we gather to worship, we know God is present with us.

 The best way to learn more about worship at Saint Paul's is to join us and experience it yourself. Come and see!

Whether you are making the first steps toward spiritual growth or are years into your spiritual journey; whether you are of deep faith or of none at all; no matter who you are, and no matter where you find yourself in this life, please know you are welcome here.

We want to see children in worship!

We strongly encourage all families to bring all their children to worship at St. Paul's.  Squeals, wiggles, and the movement of little feet are the sounds of a growing church!

Some helpful hints if you're coming to worship with young children:

• Come Early and Get Situated!
• Sit close to the front! We have a "Prayground" in the Good Shepherd chapel with soft toys, rugs, and open space that is perfect for strollers and friends with wiggles.
• The zone of attention for young children is much smaller than adults: the closer you sit to where people are moving and doing things, the more engaged a child will be.
• Please don't worry too much about noise during the sermon. The sound is amplified throughout the nave, and anyone preaching will be delighted to see and hear young children in church.
• Movement is fine! Let your children explore our amazing space. They will grow to find its sacredness by exploring the surfaces, sights and surprises of our nave.
