The Third Sunday of Easter: Year C
5 May 2019 8:45 A.M. and 11:15 A.M. The Holy Eucharist
8:45 A.M. The Very Reverend Samuel G. Candler, Celebrant Avery Culp, Preacher Natalie Spangler, Preacher 11:15 A.M. The Very Reverend Samuel G. Candler, Celebrant The Reverend Canon Carolynne G. Williams, Preacher The 8:45 a.m. service in the Cathedral gathers the largest and most diverse age groups of the parish. We rejoice and laugh with smaller children who are a large presence here; so the sermons, prayers, and hymns are intentionally developed to have a wide and educational appeal. This service maintains the grandeur and grace of the Anglican tradition, but our faith is presented in a creative and wide style. Should one be meeting the Episcopal Church from another tradition, this is our most accessible service. The 11:15 a.m. Eucharist presents the splendor of the Christian faith in its most glorious Anglican fashion. Our music, our prayers, and our sermons use the finest sources our spiritual history can offer. Incense is used on feast days. Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness.
