Did you know that there are actually two ways to celebrate Communion, along with Communion under Special Circumstances? We will try out Rite I at the 8 o'clock service during September. The 10:30 Service will continue with Rite II.
A way to distinguish the two services is that Rite I tends to be more traditional with a focus on reconciliation and Rite II is more contemporary with a celebratory nature. You may find that your spiritual life benefits by mixing things up a bit.
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.
