We Welcome You

As a community of baptized Christians, we are all ministers of the Gospel, called to work and pray for the spread of God's kingdom.

In the Episcopal Church, the ordained clergy serve the congregation by preparing individuals for their own ministry in the world. You are invited to join us in this ministry at the Church of the Annunciation.

Worship Services

Our Sunday worship is usually centered on the Holy Eucharist (also called the Mass, the Lord's Supper, or Holy Communion). Occasionally, we alternate this service with Morning Prayer, another beautiful and particularly Anglican form of worship.

Join us Wednesdays at 10 a.m. in the Annunciation chapel for a simple, informal service of the Holy Eucharist. Each week includes prayer for healing, with the laying-on of hands, as well as prayers for peace. These services are generally held weekly from after Labor Day until Pentecost, and scheduled once each month in the summer. Check the online calendar for specific dates.

Please click on the title above for more about how we worship together and celebrate and share these wonderful liturgies.

Children gather in the church with their families for the opening of the service. After sharing a few hymns and the Collect of the Day, a call to worship, the children and their teachers go to the Archangel Michael Classroom for a lesson, project, or story.

Our Parish Community

Our community is multi-generational and theologically diverse. We come together in worship to offer thanks for the many blessings God has bestowed on us, and to ask for God's continuing help, for ourselves and for others.

There is a place for you here at Annunciation, no matter who you are or where you have been—what matters is where you are going. Come join us as we walk the Way of the Cross, which is none other than the way of life and peace, leading to eternal bliss.

Something to think about

The exchange of the Peace is seldom an actual event of reconciliation between enemies, but is a stylized gesture that rehearses the community in reaching out with love to whomever is near. — Patrick Malloy, Celebrating the Eucharist
