Each Sunday morning at 8:00 a.m., St. Mary's Episcopal Church invites the community to gather for a quiet, contemplative celebration of the Holy Eucharist using Rite I of the Book of Common Prayer.

This traditional service offers a sacred space for unhurried worship, rich with the timeless language of the historic Prayer Book. Whether you are a lifelong Episcopalian or simply seeking a peaceful place to begin your Sunday, all are welcome at the Lord's Table.

A Time for Quiet Worship

The Sunday 8:00 a.m. Eucharist is designed for those who appreciate a reverent, still atmosphere for prayer and reflection. With no music and a smaller, intimate gathering, this service allows worshippers to focus deeply on the liturgy and the sacrament.

The Beauty of Rite I

Rite I draws upon the classic, formal language of the Anglican tradition — language that has guided Christian prayer for centuries. Rooted in the 1928 Book of Common Prayer and earlier forms of the liturgy, its familiar cadences offer a profound sense of continuity with the broader Church through the ages.

All Are Welcome
