Wednesday Morning Eucharist
Every Wednesday at 7 am in the Chapel - followed by a delicious continental breakfast served in the Arthur Smith Room - and you can be on your way by 8 am!

Up to 20 people attend this beautiful early morning service. We experiment with eucharistic prayers, creeds and blessings from other parts of the Anglican Communion as a way to connect with our brothers and sisters in other worshipping communities.

  • Formerly called Whitsunday, Pentecost, from the Greek name for the Jewish Festival of Weeks, 50 days after Passover, occurs 50 days after Easter and marks the end of the Easter Season. It is the day on which the Church celebrates the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the apostles, a time when people from many lands spoke in their respective languages. The Scripture readings of the day will be spoken in a variety of languages. More about Pentecost here ».
