Second Sunday of every month at 5:30 p.m.,
with silence for prayer and meditation beginning at 5:00 p.m.

The Celtic Eucharist is a candlelight service using sacred music to provide a meditative worship experience.  You are invited to this quiet, contemplative evening worship experience, which is steeped in tradition.   This service invites one to enter into a place of rest, prayer and reflection.  The atmosphere is one of stillness and calm. Musically, you will hear a variety of “gentler” instruments that may include a Celtic harp, flute, hammered dulcimer, or other stringed instrument.  Most of the hymns sung are of a Celtic origin. Silence has a place of importance at various intervals as well. Visually you can expect to see a darkened sanctuary with dozens of lighted candles and an icon or two.

Prayers and liturgical forms used will be from a variety of sources including Iona and Northumbria liturgies as well as traditional Anglican evensong.  In this particular Christian worship service there will be no sermon but a brief personal reflection offered by a member of the clergy.  During the Eucharist all will be welcome to come forward to the altar table, which will be at the base of the chancel steps.  There is also an opportunity during the service for anyone to light a candle as a tangible reminder of those for whom we pray.

The Celtic worship service is a wonderful opportunity to invite a friend, family member or acquaintance to join you. This service is intended to be inclusive and welcoming of all people. We invite you to this experience that we hope will allow you a deeper place of spiritual attentiveness, a place where you experience God in your midst.

Child care is provided.
