Artful Worship
At Grace, we dig deeply into the creative arts to expand and deepen our worship of God the Creator; from incorporating poetry and a variety of music in our services to inviting a playfulness into the strong and rich scaffolding our liturgy provides, our worship should be artful. And yet, we can enrich our faith by recognizing art as worship too. That by seeing the artistry of our everyday tasks, like cooking dinner or hanging laundry on the line, and by cultivating art in our lives – visual art, musical art, embodied art – we can more fully worship God the artist.

Worship is central to what we do and who we are at Grace. Each week we gather to read scripture, the story of God’s unceasing work of creating, redeeming and sustaining. We respond to God’s word by offering prayers and song. Then, we come to the altar, the Lord’s table, where we receive the Bread of Life, partaking in the Eucharist or Holy Communion.
The two-part structure of our weekly worship is constant, deeply rooted in the practices of the earliest Christian church, and guided in the Episcopal Church by the Book of Common Prayer.
Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise.
Give thanks to him, bless his name.— Psalm 100:4
The Episcopal tradition recognizes there are richly diverse ways of gathering, praying, giving and receiving. At Grace, you can expect to experience some of that richness of worship throughout the seasons of the church and in a number of places. In addition to the church, Grace holds worship services in our gardens and our parish hall. This expansive approach guides all aspects of our worship as we participate in prayer, sacrament and song. In joining all our voices together, we give God glory and thanks.
