• Worship
  • Saturday/Sunday Services – Join us on Saturdays at 5pm, or on Sunday mornings at 8am or 10am. Saturday evening services include a Taizé service on the first Saturday of the month. Sunday 8am service is a more contemplative service without music. Our 10am service features the St. Mary’s Choir and a sung liturgy.
  • Taizé – On the first Saturday of each month, St. Mary’s hosts a Taizé Eucharist at 5:00 p.m. This peaceful, meditative service follows the style of worship from the Taizé community in France. It features simple chants, silence, and moments of reflection, offering a time for deep prayer and connection with God.
  • The first Sunday of the month we hold our Children’s Church during the 10am service. Children’s Church is offered for children ages 5 to 12 years during the school year. The goal is learning, fun and friendship. The lessons are taken from the Godly Play curriculum which is appropriate for all ages. It is lead by a volunteer group of teachers.
  • Thursday Books and Breakfast starts with a Eucharist service. Learn more about the Thursday Books and Breakfast.
  • Music is an integral part of life at St. Mary’s. Not only is it a central vehicle for the praise of God, but it binds us as a community as well. Our parish choir is made up of dedicated people who are enthusiastic about the role music plays both in their personal lives of faith, and in the weekly experience of our congregants. Learn more about our St. Mary’s choir.
