Dinosaurs? Not at all, although some think that about us because we use The Book of Common Prayer 1962 to worship God. the Holy Trinity. But consider this: with all that happens in the course of a day to try us and to tempt us - let alone a week - is stability a bad thing? And if stability is good, what should its basis be? How about the inspired Word of God ? If that's the case, and we, (with Anglicans around the world and through the centuries), believe it truly is, then why not use the Book of Common Prayer which is thoroughly Scriptural? As some have said, it is simply Holy Scripture arranged for prayer. Well, what else would be helpful for a group of Christians gathered together for worship? Stability. Biblical worship…Participation perhaps? The Book of Common Prayer was designed to involve everyone in the Service. Those present are not an audience to be entertained, but rather a Congregation praying and praising God together with one accord.

What About Kids?
Children are always welcome! In fact we encourage their parents to bring them. How else will little ones learn to worship God the Holy Trinity? None of us are islands unto
ourselves. In Baptism, our Heavenly Father adopts us as His own and grafts us into the spiritual Body of His Son, the Church. Therefore, whether young or old, we need to come regularly and take our part around the Lord's Table.
On Sundays at 10:00 am, immediately after the opening hymn, the children gather at the Chancel steps for a brief talk with the rector, and with Mary the puppet. Then they go off to their Nursery and Sunday School classes, returning just in time to come to the Altar Rail for a blessing during the administration of the Holy Communion.
Pew packs for the kids are available at the back of the Church (near the Font), and a good supply of coloring pictures and crayons are kept under the Lectern at the front (on the right side). For more about children's activities as well as the Sunday School's curriculum, please go to 'Youth'.
