Services at St. Brendan's
Weekly Services
Sundays, 8:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m.
On Sunday, we hold two services both of which follow the Rite II Eucharistic liturgy in the Book of Common Prayer. The 8:00 a.m. service is a quiet service conducted in St. Brendan's intimate chapel. The 10:00 a.m. service is a family-friendly celebration with music and is followed by an opportunity for informal socializing with refreshments in the Social Hall.
Holy Communion
We warmly welcome anyone who has been baptized to receive Communion. If you feel more comfortable receiving a blessing, simply cross your arms over your chest at the Communion rail. Gluten-free Communion wafers are readily available upon request; never hesitate to ask for them.
Children
Childcare for infants through preschool is available during the 10:00 a.m. service in the Nursery.
Children in kindergarten through 5th grade begin the service with their families and are invited to Sunday School after the opening hymn and prayer. They then return for communion with their families.
On the fourth Sunday of each month between September and May the 10:00 service is a children’s liturgy when children are encouraged to participate in the service as acolytes, greeters, ushers and lectors as well as by singing with the choir.
Masking Up
St. Brendan's always wants to welcome members and visitors whose health status leaves them vulnerable to infection. That's why we ask all worshippers to be considerate and wear a mask if they are coughing, sneezing or getting over a respiratory illness. Masks are available at the church entrance and on two tables in the rear of the sanctuary. St. Brendan's also reserves the last two rows of seats on the left side of the nave as a "mask-up zone" at the 10 a.m. Sunday service. These seats are set aside for anyone who wears a mask and will feel more comfortable if those around them do so, too. Kindness counts!
Wednesday Evenings
St. Brendan's also offers a Eucharist service every Wednesday at 5 p.m.
