The children and youth may attend Sunday School where we engage in educational activities, crafts, discussion, service projects, and storytelling.
Please note that the schedules for Christian education change depending on the time of year and availability. Be sure to visit our homepage, and look for our eblasts, newsletters, and social media posts for the most up-to-date information.

After each Sunday service, join us for fellowship in the Parish Hall, where coffee and donuts are available.
THURSDAYS
Thursday evening Holy Eucharist is a half-hour long, and includes a short homily and Holy Communion. On the last Thursday of the month, a healing service is included in the liturgy. Healing or Unction is a sacramental rite of the Church and is an opportunity to pray for your own healing or that of others or both and to receive anointing with the Oil of Unction.

Episcopal Campus Ministry (ECM) strives to offer deeper experiences in the faith journeys of college students through worship, fellowship, and vocational discernment. ECM is a lively place for mentoring the Christian formation of both seekers and those who grew up in Episcopal churches. At weekly ECM meetings, students are recognized, challenged, supported, inspired and engaged in honest dialogue around their faith in order to foster their potential. We provide a culture where students can imagine and explore new possibilities for ministry. These imagined possibilities are necessary for the continued vitality of the church and for God’s mission in the world. Through campus ministry, we equip students with the tools for facing the tough ethical, moral, religious, relational and ecological challenges of a complex world.
