Holy Communion
Holy Communion is the sacramental meal of Christ’s body and blood shared by Christians. The celebration of the Holy Eucharist is the heart of worship at All Saints. Liturgy is properly understood as the work of the gathered people of God, so we come to the holy altar every week to offer ourselves and our gifts to God and to celebrate and receive God’s gift of Christ in the Eucharist. On Sunday (the Lord’s Day) the Eucharist is celebrated at both our services (8:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m.).
 
Prayer Book and Hymnal
The Book of Common Prayer contains liturgies approved for use in the Episcopal Church. Along with the hymnal, it forms the basis of our worship at All Saints. Prayer books and hymnals are provided in the pews for use during worship.
