We are committed to worship that is grounded in the
Episcopal tradition, yet is progressive, gender-inclusive, accessible to
non-Episcopalians and Episcopalians alike, and relevant to contemporary life.
To that end, we:
Use eucharistic prayers from supplemental liturgical materials
Use other prayers from a wide variety of sources
including the New Zealand Prayer Book
Use gender-inclusive Bible translations
Use a variety of music for congregational singing, choral anthems, and instrumentals
Use worship booklet, making worship more accessible to newcomers
Offer regular opportunities for alternative worship, such as Taizé services
Sunday Services
Our primary services are held in the Sanctuary on Sunday mornings, at 8:00 am
and 10:30 am.
8:00 am: our intimate, quiet, contemplative service
10:30 am: our larger service, with music, singing, and special worship for the children; nursery care is available
Special Services
We mark the turning of the liturgical year with special services: Advent, Christmas, Lent, Easter, All Saints, and more. These services help us tell and re-tell the story of our faith. Each cycle brings us deeper into God. For a list of current special services, see the home page or the current newsletter.
Rites of Passage
At St. Mark's, we understand the need to mark the cycles
of our lives. Some of our many special services include the thanksgiving
for the birth or adoption of a child, baptism, confirmation, reception
into the Episcopal Church, weddings, unions, and funerals.
