Sunday Services

Sunday services are offered every Sunday at 10:00am (9:00am in summer) and are either Holy Eucharist, led by supply clergy or The Reserved Sacrament, led by licensed lay people. The liturgy of The Holy Eucharist is a more traditional one whereas The Reserved Sacrament service is a present-day liturgy. The intention is to offer Holy Communion every Sunday. 

When you are welcomed for Sunday Services, you will receive a “Bulletin” that will assist you with the order of the service. You will find each activity, whether in the Book of Common Prayer (BCP), Hymnal, or other resource identified step by step. In addition, a new friend will sit by you if you are unaccustomed to the liturgical venue. 

Holy Eucharist Service

In the Episcopal Church, the Holy Eucharist is also known as Holy Communion or the Lord's Supper. Eucharist comes from the Greek words meaning "good" and "gift." It literally means "Thanksgiving." The Holy Eucharist is the way Jesus himself has given us to remember and enter again into the events of Jesus' atoning death and glorious resurrection—the greatest expression of God's gracious love for us. In this meal, we are reminded that we are one Body, united to God and one another. As we eat and drink as one family, we dwell in Jesus, and he in us.

 

Episcopalians have a wide range of beliefs on what actually happens to the bread and wine. Traditionally, we do not adhere to what is called Transubstantiation (in which the bread and wine actually become the real body and blood of Christ). We do, however believe that Christ is present in a mysterious way as we eat the bread and drink the wine, remembering his death and resurrection for us. 

Reserved Sacrament Service

In the Episcopal Church, the Reserved Sacrament Service is a service of Holy Communion from the Reserved Sacrament.  The wine and the bread have been previously consecrated by clergy  In doing so, we remember that we are connected with the Church throughout the world and especially with the faithful. We give thanks that we receive this gift of communion with all the faithful, and fully partake of God’s own offering. We receive the bread and wine from a licensed individual.

Morning Prayer

Morning Prayer in the Episcopal tradition is a structured form of daily prayer, typically found in the Book of Common Prayer or similar resources. It involves a combination of Scripture readings, hymns, and prayers, often centered around themes of praise, thanksgiving, and intercession. Morning prayer will be offered when the Holy Eucharist or Reserved Sacrament are unavailable. 

Tuesdays Centering Prayer

Our Centering Prayer Group meets every Tuesday at 5 pm PST via Zoom.. To quote from Contemplative Outreach, Centering Prayer is a receptive method of silent prayer in which we experience God's presence within us, closer than breathing, closer than thinking, closer than consciousness itself. This method of prayer is both a relationship with God and a discipline to foster that relationship (https://www.contemplativeoutreach.org/).  If you are interested in learning more about Centering Prayer or would like to join our group, please contact Susan Johnson.

Wednesdays Compline

Wednesday Evenings at 5:00 pm we meet at the church, and on Zoom, for Compline.  The ancient office of Compline derives its name from a Latin word meaning ‘completion’ (completorium). It is above all a service of quietness and reflection before rest at the end of the day.  It is very rewarding.  Come join us and see if it works for you.

For more information contact Brian Sellers-Petersen.

Terra Divina

Terra Divina/Sacred Earth is an outdoor community contemplative practice of mindfully encountering the land through all our senses - sight, smell, hearing, touch, and even taste. It is a divine beholding of the Earth, a practice of immersing ourselves in the rhythms of the natural world through presence and contemplation. In this monthly Sunday afternoon gathering we come together to practice seeing, listening, remembering, and re-centering. 

Our next meet-up is at the Creator’s Law Sculpture at Runje Field/Roslyn Park at 5:00 pm on July 27th. For more information contact Brian Sellers-Petersen.
