Worship

Liturgical worship lies at the heart of parish life at St. Martin’s.

 

St. Martin’s routinely offers two Sunday services. We currently have one in person service at 8AM and an in person and online service at 10AM. 

The 8:00 am spoken service uses Book of Common Prayer Rite I. Regular attendees describe this service as “traditional, quiet, and silent.”

The 10 am service includes music and uses the Book of Common Prayer Rite II, supplemented by Enriching Our Worship  and The Psalter for the Christian People for inclusive language. Our 10am service is currently available in person at the church as well as online. During the 10am service we usually have a choir which offers both traditional and contemporary hymns, with anthems in diverse music styles.

If you are joining online, you can find us on Zoom or on Facebook Live during our livestreams. Recordings of our services will be available the day after the service on our YouTube channel (see the header or footer for links).

Children are welcome at all services.

For information on upcoming services and how to join online, see here.

St. Martin’s also offers seasonal liturgies, such as a Lessons and Carols service in December and Maundy Thursday during Holy Week.

Since the 1990s, St. Martin’s has welcomed all to the altar.

St. Martin’s is blessed with a wonderful choir that sings at the 10am service. Please see here for information about our rich and varied music program.

SERVE IN WORSHIP: We welcome children and adults who wish to assist with services as ushers, lectors, acolytes, Eucharistic Ministers, and healing ministers. Are you interested in serving during worship? We need an array of liturgical ministers every Sunday at both the 8am and 10am services. We have a signup system for volunteers that allows you to pick the days and ministries in which you would like to volunteer. (Note that some ministry roles, such as Eucharistic Minister, require training and/or a license.) If you are interested in serving or have questions, please talk to one of our clergy or to the church office.
