At St. Mary's we are blessed with a diversity of worship styles
which are expressed in our Sunday liturgies. Both Sunday services
(8:00 and 10:30) are the Holy Eucharist, Rite II, from the Book of
Common Prayer. The Scripture readings are from the Revised Common
Lectionary.
The early service, at 8:00 a.m., is a said service (no music). The worshiping community at this service usually numbers 15 to 25 - a small, friendly group that is welcoming, but not intrusive. The service usually lasts about 40 minutes. There is a monthly Coffee Hour following this service, usually on the first Sunday in the month, in which we share wonderful food and conversation together (these dates are noted on our online calendar). Even on Coffee Hour days, our time together is concluded early, allowing plenty of time to enjoy our many local and area activities.
The later service, at 10:30 a.m., is a sung service. Portions of the liturgy are sung, usually the Entrance, Gradual, Offertory, Sursum Corda, Sanctus, post-Communion, and the Recessional. Music styles used include traditional hymns, praise music (often called "Cursillo music"), and Taizé music (a meditative form of singing originating from the ecumenical Taizé services founded in France in the 1950's). Hymns are taken from the 1982 Hymnal. Other music is found in a Glory and Praise music folder.
Most of the time our music offering is a capella and we are graced with people who sing and harmonize well. We are currently working to build and expand our music ministry to also include instruments (possibly piano, guitar, mandolin, recorders, and percussion).
The worshiping community at this service varies according to the season - we are a tourist destination, but usually numbers 35 to 55. This service ordinarily lasts about 50 minutes. On the third Sunday of every month this service includes healing with anointing of oil. On these Sundays our service extends to about an hour.
There is a Coffee Hour following each 10:30 service where we enjoy wonderful refreshments and pleasant conversation together. We catch up, dream dreams together, and enjoy the energy and joyful exuberance of our children and youth, the wisdom of our elders, and the opportunity to just sit and be together.
This service allows the double benefit of sleeping in and still having enough time to have lunch in town or enjoy the local and area activities – all while still making room in our lives for participating in lively and meaningful worship.
Join us on the second Tuesday of each month at 7:00 p.m. for a meditative Taizé service. A variety of services is offered seasonally including Evensong, A Public Service of Healing, a Service of Light, and Lessons & Carols during Advent; Stations of the Cross, Ash Wednesday, Tenebrae, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and Holy Saturday services in Lent, a Rogation Day procession and service at our Organic Community Garden; and a blessing of the animals on the Feast of St. Francis. Watch our homepage for announcements about these services.
