We welcome you to explore the many ways we have for you to worship with us & experience St. Francis.

Episcopal worship services at St. Francis create a sacred space for us to rest and be renewed by God’s spirit. Beauty and music are sacred components of our liturgy. People of all ages are encouraged and welcome to participate in our worship.

SUNDAY WORSHIP

  • People standing at a wooden altar in a church with large glass windows and wooden ceiling, some holding papers, others with hands folded or at their sides, participating in a religious ceremony.

    8:00AM SUNDAY: IN-PERSON AND LIVESTREAMED

    The 8:00 am service in the Church is a Rite II Eucharist primarily of spoken liturgy with the influence of pre-recorded reflective music as well as live music to create space for the worshipper to connect with the liturgy. The goal of this service is to give space for those longing for some quiet and reflection while also participating in the sacraments.

  • Children and adults gathered at a place of worship, likely for a religious service or event, with kids leaning on a wooden railing and a woman in white attire standing in the background.

    10:15 AM SUNDAY: IN-PERSON AND LIVESTREAMED

    The 10am service in the Church is a Rite II Eucharist infused with energy and vitality. Choir/Organ/Hymnal music is blended with contemporary worship music. Acolytes (altar servers) at this service include elementary - high school parishioners. This service uses the Book of Common Prayer and Hymnal, but an easy-to-follow worship bulletin is also provided with complete service information. A service designed for kindergartners through fifth graders occurs during this service, and then children can return to their parents to participate in Holy Communion if they wish.

  • A religious ceremony where children and adults are gathered, with a young girl and a woman in white robes participating. The girl is holding a silver bowl while the woman next to her is reaching into the bowl. Several other people are around, some holding trays or other items, in an outdoor setting with green trees in the background.

    CHILDREN'S WORSHIP

    As part of our 10:15am Sunday service, we offer a safe, healthy, and nurturing experience for all children 0-5 years during both our Sunday services. Children in kindergarten to 5th grade are invited to a special worship experience geared just for them. We incorporate child focused methodology into our worship experience with these littlest of our church family, telling stories and engaging in activities or crafts to highlight the message being taught that day. Little Liturgy occurs before the Peace, allowing parents to bring their children to the Communion rail to receive a Blessing and be part of the larger service.

  • A priest or minister officiating a religious ceremony, likely a baptism, with a man, woman, and child participating, inside a church with candles and religious items on a table.
