Church is the more traditional of our two
congregations. Music is led our parish music
director's, Scott and Tara Cameron as well as Derek Thorpe playing the
organ once a month. The services are usually Holy Eucharist following the Book of Alternative Services,
Page 185, except when the Rector is away and then BCP Morning Prayer
is used. A Sunday School of 6-8 children
is available at this service from September through May.
Holy Trinity has a more contemporary feel thanks
to the music led by the classical guitar duo CameronStrings.
Services are Book of Alternative Services - Holy Eucharist (Page 185)
except when the Rector is away and Morning Prayer from the Book of
Common Prayer is led by a lay reader.
Throughout the school year we have special
services led by the Children and Youth including the popular "Big
Question Sunday," in which a service is developed around
questions the children and youth have asked. The children gather
each Sunday for a story with the Rector and then proceed to Sunday
School. We have approximately 20 children in the Sunday School.
Sunday is offered in three classes (toddler, primary and youth).
In the summer a combined class is available.
____________________
During the seasons of Advent and
Lent the Wednesday morning service of Holy Communion according to the
Book of Common Prayer is celebrated at 10:30am. The rest of the
year the Wednesday services are Morning Prayer according to the Book
of Common Prayer.
