Our Executive Team has been working with St. Joseph St John in Lakewood. The church closed a year ago, and the Diocese has allowed us to take their bell and anything in the church we could use. We loved this beautifully handmade bowl. The bowl was used as the baptismal font at the entrance to the nave. Now it will be used as our baptismal font. We will give it a good home in our church family. Our font will be repurposed to the glory of God.
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.
