Lessons, prayers and preaching point toward a deeper vision of the loving God who created, redeems and sustains us. As on regular Sundays, services are not all alike. Some are very formal, with the celebrant chanting portions of the liturgy and incense, which symbolizes the prayers of the congregation rising to heaven. At others, children's choirs sing and the liturgy, music and preaching are geared to appeal to a wide range of ages and interests. Storytime is often offered.
Child care is noted on the calendar listing for the service.
On each of these big feast days, there are simpler services especially for families with preschool children. We encourage you to come especially early to these great celebrations of the church, to rest from the excitement and noise of the season and enjoy the music that precedes services.
