Our Episcopal Traditions

Worship

Worship is central to who we are and what we do. We are called to spiritual growth and transformation. Worship helps us grow and prepares us for all the ways we serve Christ in friends and strangers during the week.

Sunday Holy Eucharist at 8:00 a.m. Experience a quieter, more intimate communion service and begin your Sunday and week with nurturing time with God in community. This service typically ends by 9:00 a.m.

Choral Eucharist at 10:00 a.m. This engaging communion service is larger than our early service and includes our choir and organ music led by our Music Director. Children often participate in this service either during the sermon or even at the altar. The service typically lasts for an hour to an hour and fifteen minutes. Immediately following is a reception in the Fireside Room and patio for casual conversation and fellowship.

Wednesday Holy Eucharist & Bible Study at 10:30 a.m. We gather for communion followed by lively conversation about the scripture and our tradition of faith. This meeting concludes at noon.

Ways to Serve in Worship

The Episcopal Church observes seven liturgical seasons throughout the year and you will see this reflected in the priest’s vestments, altar decorations, and in the readings and hymns traditionally used in those seasons. The word Liturgy means the public worship of God, that which is shown. Rites, texts, symbols, colors, all show the meaning of the season. For example, the season of Advent leading up to Christmas includes deep blues and purples which symbolize Christ’s royalty and the repentance we go through to prepare our hearts for his arrival. For more information The Episcopal Church has a useful link.

At COS much of the work around the Liturgical Seasons is performed by our Altar Guild. This team ensures that the altar and clerical vestments are ready for each service. Like most behind-the-scenes work, it is vital to our mission. If you are interested in joining this team, please speak to any one serving at the altar or contact the office.
