                                                      Worship and Liturgy

We enjoy worship.  At the heart of things, our life centers on our worship of God.  Guided by the Book of Common Prayer, we celebrate life in song, color, dance and special liturgies.  We believe strongly that liturgy is not something to be copied from the past, but offered from the present.  As an Episcopal Church, we benefit from centuries of development in forms of worship.  However, we are comfortable with emerging forms such as Taize, the Prayer Book of Australia, New Zealand, and even ad hoc services to respond to special current events.  Our space lends itself to varied configurations of seating, allowing for services which emphasise antiphonal singing and recitation, open circles, small and intimate gatherings to suit different occasions. Worship cannot happen without people.  But space, lighting, acoustics, and many other elements combine to make an offering to the Lord of Life which fills the moment with joy, love and peace.

 Our bread for Holy Communion is sometimes made by our youth.  When they do so you can smell the wonderful aroma of it cooking as you enter our Holy Space.
