Visitor's Guide: Knowing What to Do

Knowing what to do
Under the seat of the chair in front of you, you will find two books. The smaller of the the two is The Book of Common Prayer and the larger is the Hymnal. Both are used during the service. We are good book jugglers! The Service Order Bulletin will let you know what book to use when and what page to go to. The Book of Common Prayer contains the liturgy or script of the service and the Hymnal contains the songs we sing.
Our observance of the Eucharist is usually consistent from week to week. On special occasions things will vary but the Service Order Bulletin will be the best guide for what is going on. The rule of thumb is that we stand to sing, sit to listen, and stand or kneel to pray. As a visitor, feel free to join in as much or as little as you wish.
After the service, visitors are urged to sign the guest register at the back of the church. Don't worry! We like to have a record that you visited us and we will send you a note thanking you for paying us that honor.
