What is Messiah's worship style?
We follow the Book of Common Prayer and often use the Rite II Service which is traditional in style. Many of our hymns are from the Hymnal but we like to mix it up too! Holy Communion is offered every Sunday.
What about children?
Children are always welcome! We offer a Children's Program in our Upper Room where they hear Bible stories, do arts and crafts, and enjoy snacks together. The children come back down to worship to join their families for Communion.
Who is welcome to receive communion?
In the Episcopal Church, all are welcome to receive communion at the Lord’s Table. This includes everyone from those searching for faith to those who are cradle Episcopalians and everyone in between.
If you are not familar with an Episcopal service, feel free to introduce yourself to a person sitting near you and ask them to help you follow along.
What should I wear?
God gives us so much; we can praise him by wearing our best. And, God knows our hearts which is what counts. Whichever is your perspective, and however you are comfortable is how you should dress. We welcome all!
As a beach community, we like to follow in Jesus' footsteps by wearing sandals!
How do I get to know some people in the church?
A great way to get to know us is to join us after worship in the Upper Room for coffee and nibbles. We'd love to get to know you, share about ourselves, and brag on our church!
Or getting involved is another way to meet people - check out these opportunities!
What if I have a question about theology? or faith? or what Episcopalians believe? Who do I ask?
You're in luck! I know a guy who loves to discuss theology, faith & the Episcopal Church! Rev Roy has open office hours on Tuesdays from 10:00 to 12:00 noon.
