"The Holy Eucharist, the principal act of Christian worship on the Lord’s Day and other major Feasts, and Daily Morning and Evening Prayer, as set forth in the Book of Common Prayer, are the regular services appointed for public worship in this Church.  In all services, the entire Christian assembly participates in such a way that the members of each order within the Church, lay persons, bishops, priests, and deacons, fulfill the functions proper to their respective orders." —from the Book of Common Prayer, p. 13.

At St. Paul’s, our worship takes on varied characteristics—from liturgically formal high Masses, to the simple daily recitation of the Divine Office and the Mass—on cold, dark, dreary Monday mornings as well as Prayer Book Holy Days; in the simplicity of our Angel chapel as well as in the glories of a High Mass.  This continuum of corporate prayer is at the heart of the Anglo-Catholic life and at the heart of this parish church. As we experience the transforming power of Divine Grace with one another, so we reach out to one another and, never forget, to the world at large, as we seek restoration and redemption. In other words, the Death and Resurrection of Jesus take form in our very midst as the Word is made flesh in Sacrament, Word and fellowship.

In addition to the Mass and Daily Morning and Evening Prayer, the following services are part of our worship life at St. Paul’s Parish:

SOLEMN EVENSONG AND BENEDICTION
Solemn Evensong and Benediction of the Most Blessed Sacrament is offered each Sunday at 6:00 p.m. by the Choir of Men and Boys. One of the great treasures of the Anglican tradition, the service features psalms, hymns, choral music and lessons—a particularly satisfying close to the day. >> An overview of Solemn Evensong and Benediction.

Evensong 6:00 PM Sundays
EVENSONG is a very tiny fragment of something else: it is a fragment of the worship offered to God by Christian people, at every hour, in every part of the world. When you come to Evensong here, it is as if you were dropping in on a conversation already in progress—a conversation between God and his people that began long before you were born, and will go on long after you are dead. So do not be surprised, or disturbed, if there are some things in the conversation which you do not at once understand.
