WELCOME TO
Good Samaritan Episcopal Church!
Some of us have been Christians for a very long time, some of us are just discovering our faith, and some are still trying to figure it out. What we all share in common is a desire to experience the presence of God in our lives and make a difference in the world. We believe, too, life’s journey is richer and fuller when traveled with others. No matter where you are on your journey of faith, there’s a place for you at Good Samaritan. We hope you’ll join us soon to discover for yourself how the faith we share can make a difference in your life and in the world.
SUNDAY WORSHIP SERVICE
Eucharist Worship Services
Fall Schedule
8:00 AM and 10:30 AM Sundays
Fall Schedule
8:00 AM and 10:30 AM Sundays
We have two services on Sundays. At 8:00 a.m. we have a quiet, spoken service that is in-person only. Our 10:30 a.m. service has musical accompaniment and is also live-streamed. Children are welcome to attend Children’s Formation or to worship alongside their families for the whole service (and certainly are not required to stay silent – their vocal enthusiasm just adds to the joy)! Eucharist, or Holy Communion, is at the center of our worship. Communion is a simple meal in which we encounter and receive God’s grace in the ordinary things of bread and wine. The table at which we share Communion is Jesus’ table. All are welcome!
We are an affirming Episcopal Church, which means that we are rooted in an ancient tradition, expressed today in our modern context. Our liturgy—the form and pattern of our worship service—comes from the ancient church and has found new ways of being practiced in every age, including today, and provides space to reflect on life, find peace, and encounter God’s presence. When you arrive, you’ll receive a bulletin with all the prayers, readings, songs for the service, as well as notes about when to do things like stand up (we tend to do that a lot in the Episcopal Church).
Adult and Youth Formation
Along with worship on Sunday mornings, we have opportunities for people of all ages to explore faith and grow in faith. Adult formation activities take place on Sunday mornings at 9:00 a.m. but we also offer a weekday in-person/online Bible Study, as well as women-only and men-only groups. Children’s formation is offered during the school year as part of the Sunday 10:30 a.m. service, and youth are encouraged to join us in adult formation offerings. Please contact the clergy for more information.
