- Wednesday evenings - 5:30 p.m. - Holy Eucharist, in the chapel. No musical accompaniment.
Please check our calendar during special times of the year, such as Christmas, Holy Week, and Easter.
We will not be checking temperatures nor vaccination status for any who choose to attend. As always, if you feel at all unwell, have recently tested positive for COVID-19, or have had close contact with someone who has, please refrain from attending in-person until such a time as is medically advisable. People are free to wear masks or not. Our altar ministers will mask while serving communion and may mask at other times in the service.
Should you choose to not yet attend next Sunday or any Sunday in the near future, be assured that the 10:30 a.m. service will continue to be streamed live on our website, Facebook, and YouTube. Be further assured that, wherever you may be, God will be present with all of us, continuing to gather us as the community we have been called to in St. Paul’s.
