"Anglican spirituality is essentially liturgical: It is a way of spiritual life founded in worship and fulfilled in worship; a spiritual life shaped by the word of God mediated to us in the cycles of the liturgical year.  It is that liturgical pattern of proclaiming the Word of God, day by day, week by week, year by year, which has shaped the mind and heart of Anglican Christianity. And that pattern has remained substantially unchanged for more than a millennium."
- The. Rev. Dr. Robert Crouse

This Sunday at St. Mary's Church

The Christian life is rich at St. Mary's. At the center of all we do is our worship of God. It drives our mission and outreach, it underlies our classes and discussion groups, it builds the fellowship that feeds our social activities. Worship in The Episcopal Church is grounded in the ancient faith and patterns and traditions of the church. If this is your very first time with us for worship, you may find it helpful to browse What to expect on Sunday.

The Readings from Holy Scripture for this Sunday

The Episcopal Church follows the Revised Common Lectionary, a three year cycle of readings from Holy Scripture for Sundays and major feast days. The First Sunday of Advent, 29 November 2015, signaled a shift in emphasis for Sunday readings of the Holy Gospel from the gospel of St. Mark to the gospel of St. Luke.
