8:15 am – A quiet reflective service for early risers, based on the traditional Book of Common Prayer with Holy Eucharist. There is no music in this service, lots of room for meditation.

Many members of the community take part each week by writing and offering prayers, reading Scripture, setting the altar, serving Communion, anointing with sacred oil, or offering drama. Children enjoy their own programs and join us for Communion.
