Sung Holy Eucharist Rite II
We reflect on Holy Scripture and celebrate a Holy Communion in a reverent and formal service that’s never stuffy or stiff. This service includes congregational singing and other music by soloists and staff. The weekly sermons may inspire, comfort, or challenge the congregation as listeners filter them through their own experiences.

Spanish Language Holy Eucharist (Santa Misa) with Music:
We are one congregation worshiping in two languages. This service is very similar to the 10 a.m. in its structure and content, but it’s conducted entirely in Spanish with a latin flavor to the music. The music provided by the Coro Latinoamericano and musicians is joyful and lively. Even if you don’t speak Spanish very well, you will be welcomed warmly.
