Sunday Service Notes
The Sunday service, always with Holy Eucharist, starts at 9:00 AM.
The 1st and 3rd
Sundays of the month use the traditional Episcopal Prayer Book.
The 2nd and 4th use a contemporary version.
A 5th Sunday service is
traditional, with a combination of
Morning Prayer followed by Holy Eucharist.
Two
offerings are taken, the second being for our our orphanage under
construction in Kakata, Liberia.

At St. Paul's the
service – which might be contemporary or traditional - begins when
the church bells ring. No chimes, no electronics; just real bells in
a real stone tower, rung by pulling on a rope. The theology of
communion, the sharing of bread and wine, can get complicated and
obscure. Those of us who find the debate unproductive can just
accept mystery..... worship at St Pauls |

priest and his/her assistants at an Episcopal service is based on all
sorts of traditions and symbols (which most of us probably have
forgotten or never knew) and does tend towards the exotic..... to priestly garb |

The Daily Office, the hours of prayer: You
may remember that as a child you were taught to say your prayers
before going to bed at night. Perhaps you were even encouraged to
pray when you arose in the morning. This custom of marking the hours
of the day with prayer dates back to our Jewish tradition.... to morning prayer |

St. Paul's,
relatively tall and narrow, with hard plastered walls and wood plank
ceiling, is acoustically live. A medium sized pipe organ is
installed in the choir loft at the rear of the nave. This is a C.B.
Fisk two manual tracker, Opus 57, dating to 1972. It has a few
somewhat unusual and interesting features, including Tremulant and Cymbalstar..... to the venue |
