When Visiting Holy Comforter

WHAT TO EXPECT

Holy Comforter Episcopal Church is a warm and welcoming community. All people - saints, sinners, and skeptics - are invited to worship with us.

​

Welcome

Faith Almond, our Newcomer Minister, will greet you at the front entrance of the church on Sunday morning and direct you to the worship space.

​

Dress Code

There is no dress code for any of our services at Holy Comforter. You’ll see everything from jacket and tie to shorts and flip-flops.

​

Children

If you wish to use it, the children’s nursery is open all Sunday morning. Nursery workers have been trained in “Safeguarding God’s Children” and will ensure that your children are safe and comfortable during worship services.

Children are a vital part to the life of our congregation. We understand that children can be noisy during worship services, but please don’t feel embarrassed by this. If your kid is being fussy or noisy, please do what is best for you and your family, but by no means feel that you can’t be part of our congregation. A quiet Family Room is open at the back of the church if you wish to sit there. Learn more about opportunities for children and families here.

​

Holy Eucharist

We believe that the Holy Eucharist does not belong to any particular denomination or church. Therefore, all baptized Christians are invited to eat and drink the bread and wine of Communion.

In the Episcopal Church, the Holy Eucharist is also known as Holy Communion, the Lord’s Supper, or the Mass. The Holy Eucharist is an expression of God’s love for us. In it, we are changed into one Body, united to God and one another. As we eat and drink as one family, we dwell in Jesus, and he in us.
