PentecostJoin us this Sunday when we celebrate the Feast of Pentecost and hear the children’s choir at the 11 0’clock service. At Pentecost we draw on our various cultural backgrounds as we “hear in our own tongue, etc.,” aloud in sundry languages during the Scripture reading.

Sunday Services include: 9am Holy Eucharist in All Saints Chapel; 11am Holy Eucharist in the church with sermon, music & choir; 7pm Service of Meditations and Sacrament including chant, interfaith readings and communion. The prelude is heard at 10:45am and postlude on The Manton Memorial organ.
