We love it when parishioners give flowers or plants in memory of something, someone, or just because. There is no strict rule about which flowers must be used—let the season, the spirit of the day, and the gifts of creation guide you. The most important thing is that the flowers are offered in love and reverence. When we don’t have flowers, we use green plants on our altar stands. I am thankful for Sharon Lochner, who does our flowers. -Nancy, Sacristan
Worship is like a drama: The clergy, ministers and musicians are the prompters, the people are the actors, and God is the audience.
- Søren Kierkegaard
At St Benedict we celebrate with awe and obligation in a construct called liturgy. Liturgy is a Greek word that means “the work of the people.” Our services are focused through scripture reading, song, prayers, preaching, and the liturgy of the table, known also as Holy Eucharist.
