Through many dangers, toils, and snares I have already come. ‘Tis grace has brought me safe thus far, and grace will lead me home.

FINAL MARKET OF THE REGULAR SEASON! Saturday, September 3 Stock up on your favorite foods and thank our farmers, ranchers, and food artisans for another wonderful season!
Our first in person Compline will feature music specially chosen for the 9/11 commemoration. Future in person Choral Compline dates are November 20, January 8, February 26, and April 23. Entrance is through the main church doors on Douglas Ave. The webcast of Compline will continue every Sunday night at 8 pm starting September 25.
This year, we adjust how we offer the special Sunday night service of Choral Compline. We will now have this meditative, candlelit service only 5 times a year for in person attendance. For each in-person service, we’ll have candle light, a priest officiant, processions, incense, and a reception following. Our Choral Compline lasts just under 30 minutes and is entirely sung—no spoken words or musical instruments. It’s a wonderful way to conclude the weekend in peace and quiet. Mark your calendar and invite someone who doesn’t regularly go to church!
