The Worship Committee’s purpose and responsibilities

The SPI Worship Committee is committed to providing meaningful worship experiences for our members and visitors. The worship committee exists to provide guidance for what happens during our worship times. Its role is to examine all our various worship experiences and make recommendations to the rector for ways that each can be strengthened and improved. We serve in an advisory role to the rector. Worship committee meetings are open to all.
