Evening Service Worship in the Episcopal Church includes Protestant and Catholic traditions. The Eucharist is an increasingly favored name for the central act of Christian worship, otherwise called the Holy Communion, the Mass, or the Lord s Supper. Eucharist , one of the most ancient names for this rite, comes from a Greek word meaning thanksgiving.
Gratefulness is, perhaps, the most fundamental religious experience.
Episcopal Church worship actively involves the entire congregation. This service music is denoted by the letter S that precedes the number. The weekly bulletin provides the order of service, readings, and hymns. You may wonder when to stand, sit, or kneel. Practice varies among individual Episcopalians but the general rule is to stand for hymns and other songs, for the affirmation of our faith in the Creeds, and for the reading of the Gospel passages during the Holy Eucharist.
