Regular Schedule (September-June)
7:45 am Rite I Service
Our 7:45 service (8:00 during the summer schedule) is an Episcopal Rite I service. This usually is a shorter service in duration and it uses the more traditional language found in the Book of Common Prayer.
9:00 Rite II Service
1-worshiptimes2.jpg
When you come to St. Anne’s at 9:00 am, you’ll experience a fuller service, using the newer language of Episcopal Rite II, with full choir. Our music is a blend of traditional and contemporary.

Sunday school takes place in classrooms for preschoolers to Grade 2 during the first portion of the service, and older children may enjoy the Children’s Music program at that time. All children join their parents for Communion. Afterwards, the congregation gathers for a coffee hour.

The time in between the 9:00 a.m. and 11:15 a.m. services is the education hour where parents may attend interesting educational programs while their older children are going to Sunday school.

Both services are family-friendly—a toddler wandering down the aisle will get smiles, not scowls. However, a nursery is provided for children under five, and a Cry Room is available for parents and little ones and is accessible from both the sanctuary and the nave. The nursery is staffed continuously by two adult caregivers starting at 9:00 through the 11:15 service. One caregiver is a paid staffer who brings consistent smiles to the little ones week after week, and one is a parent volunteer.

In the summer, we combine the 9:00 and the 11:15 into just one service, Rite II, at 10:00 a.m. Children’s Chapel is offered and the nursery is staffed and available.
11:15 Rite II Service
When you join us for the 11:15 a.m., you’ll enjoy the same Rite II liturgy performed at 9:00, only with a robed choir performing music in the Anglican tradition. Like the 9:00, this service is followed by a coffee hour in the Library.

If you like Anglican music, you'll be delighted with St. Anne’s 11:15 a.m. service. Our music for this service centers around the Episcopal Hymnal, which draws many of its songs from the stately hymns of the Church of England, as well as from other American and European churches. We supplement the Hymnal with a variety of other music, as well as music composed specifically for St. Anne's.

The time in between the 9:00 a.m. and 11:15 a.m. services is the education hour where parents may attend interesting educational programs while their older children are going to Sunday school.

5:00 P.M. "Come Just As You Are" Service
Our 5:00 p.m. “Come Just As You Are” Service is a contemporary form of worship where we explore alternative readings, Eucharistic prayers and music. Attendees describe it as the perfect way to get centered for the week ahead. This service features modern Christian music from vocalist Susan Allen and the "Come Just As You Are" band and singers. Children of all ages love this one, and parents can expect this service to last no more than an hour. After the conclusion, a social time begins in the Narthex to the sounds of jazz from Susan Allen and the trio. Come one and all, just as you are, and celebrate with us at 5:00 p.m. on Sunday.
