Liturgical Ministries

St. Matthew’s is a worshipping community. Our rich variety of programs and ministry grows from a shared life of worship of Jesus Christ. Worship, especially Holy Eucharist, is central to who we are and how we (with God’s help) stay anchored in Christ.

Sunday worship services are generally Rite II prayer book-based with the use of approved supplemental liturgies. During Lent and Advent, we typically make use of Rite I. Our services include a mix of mid to high church using processional crosses and acolytes. Music is a part of both of our Sunday services. We will also incorporate incense on high Holy days. During the pandemic shut down, we incorporated outdoor services under the pavilion, evening services in our lower gardens, online morning prayer and evening compline, and services around a bonfire.
