Worship at ECM
|
|
|
At
the very center of what we do at ECM is worship. We
believe God created us to be in love with God and with one
another, and one of the primary ways we express that love is
through prayer, music, and fellowship during worship each
week.
Sunday Night
Sanctus
Every Sunday night at 5:30 p.m. we gather in the chapel for
Sunday Night Sanctus, our weekly time of worship.
"Sanctus" (pronounced SONK-toos) means "holy," and
that's exactly what this time is intended to be.
It's your weekly chance to stop, catch your breath,
and connect with God before another hectic school
week begins. |

Q. How do you
worship?
A. Our worship is very
laid back, so come as you are. On the first Sunday
of every month, we have a Communion service where we gather, read and reflect on the
Scriptures, say prayers, sing songs, and share in the bread
and wine that symbolize to us Christ's love and sacrifice
for us. This is just about the most ancient way of
Christian worship, so when we share in the Eucharist
together, we are joining our hearts and voices with
Christians not only throughout the world, but also
throughout history.
On the other Sundays of the month we have a simple service of
song and prayer where you can find your center and
plug into the presence of God. Candles, music, and
evening prayers set the tone for worship.
You can find out more about our
worship on our episco-what?
page.
Q. What should I
know before I come?
A. Episcopalians have a saying: "All may; some
should; none must." Know that when you come to worship
with us, you are free to participate as much or as little as
you feel led. Some jump right in, participating in our
discussions, singing loudly and off key, and joining in the
prayers. Others hold back a little until they have a
better handle on what's going on. Either way is fine;
just know that you have a place at our table. |
