What can you expect if you worship with us on Sunday morning?
Sunday Morning Schedule:
10:00 am Holy Eucharist (we begin promptly)
11:15 am Coffee & visiting afterward
You will be accepted and welcomed just as you are, regardless of your spiritual background. You will be greeted warmly by other worshippers and by clergy. We’re a small and happy group, and we’re friendly, too!
You will be invited to give us your contact information but will not be pressured to do so.
You will be invited to add to St. Michael’s prayer list the name(s) of anyone whom you know to need prayers. During the Eucharist we pray for those who are in need, sorrow, or sickness; for expectant mothers; and for the recently deceased. Angels deliver particular blessings to all those for whom we pray.
You will find it easy to follow the Eucharist using the service booklet we provide. If aspects of Catholic liturgy are unfamiliar, know that nearly all of us (Fr. Alan in particular!) have felt the same way when first encountering The Liberal Catholic Church. You will not be judged or put on the spot in any way.
You will be uplifted by the beautiful music of our Liberal Catholic liturgy.
You will be invited to partake of Holy Communion with us. You do not need to be a member of our church or any Christian church. You do not need to pass any test of belief. If you approach the altar with reverence, you are welcome to receive Communion. Communion is administered by the priest directly into the mouth of the communicant. Grape juice is used for “wine” at St. Michael the Protector Church.
You will be inspired and spiritually refreshed by the silence, dignity, and beauty of Catholic worship and by your participation, with angels and with us, in worship that blesses the neighborhood and enlivens Christ’s presence in the world.
