Worship

We know it can be daunting to visit a church for the first time. Our  goal is to warmly welcome you and do everything we can to help you feel at home and learn all you want about Saint Patrick’s Anglican Church. Please e-mail us if you are interested in visiting so we can reserve a seat for you at our Sunday service. 

As you prepare to visit, dress in the way you feel most comfortable for worship. Most worshipers wear casual clothes. There is a large parking lot at the church, and the main entrance adjoins the parking lot. 

When  you visit Saint Patrick’s, you will be greeted by someone from our Hospitality Team at the Welcome Table just inside the doorway. During the pandemic, we are using a seating chart to make sure we keep 6 feet of social distance, and the greeter will help you find your place on the seating chart as well as the sanctuary. We are also following the state's guidelines so everyone is asked to wear a mask while inside the church. A worship guide will be placed on the pew, and it has the order of the service. For a sample guide, see below. 

If you have children,  the greeter will help you find the fellowship hall downstairs where the kids worship. For more details on the children's ministry and how we are keeping kids healthy at church, click here.

During  the service you are free to participate to the degree you feel  comfortable. If you are brand new to Anglican worship, you are welcome to sit and observe – no one will be offended.

Every week our worship is a mix of music, Bible reading, preaching, and prayer. In addition, we celebrate  the Lord’s Supper every week. As Anglicans, we welcome all baptized  Christians to receive Holy Communion – one does not have to be an Anglican or a member of Saint Patrick’s. If you are not baptized or  perhaps are not yet a follower of Jesus, you are welcome to remain in  your seat if you prefer or come forward for a blessing. Every week, we explain in detail how to participate in Holy Communion. Don’t worry, you  won’t feel lost or left out. Baptized children are welcome to receive Communion at the discretion of their parents.
