Online Worship

There are times when we have needed to be physically distanced to protect the health and safety of our community, but we cannot be distanced from our yearning for wonder, hope, and inspiration. During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, we regularly adapted the format for our weekly services; today we continue to innovate and think on our toes to create excellent worship while maintaining public health and safety.

Starting in Fall 2021, we began experimenting with a new hybrid worship format: we are having live, in-person services on Sunday mornings at 10:30 AM while simultaneously live-streaming the service using Zoom. To participate in our worship via live stream on Sunday mornings, click the link below!

Previous Online Worship Formats

In response to the Covid-19 pandemic, we moved our services online in the spring of 2020 and continued to share prerecorded worship each week through August 2021. The services were recorded in advance, but also contained real-time elements; we would watch the service together from our separate homes on Sunday morning at 10:30 AM, during which we exchange digital signs of peace in real-time. Members were invited to download a PDF of the order of service, sit back, and join in a time of distant but shared inspiration and reflection. After worship, we would grab our coffee mugs and gather live on Zoom to connect for a time of community fellowship and friendly conversation.

For security, we typically did not post the Zoom link on our website; for regular worship updates – about whether we’re outdoors, in the sanctuary, or solely online – subscribe to our email list by contacting the Parish Administrator.
