First time worshipping with us?
We have all experienced attending a church or chapel for the first time and wondering what we will encounter.
Our hope is that this alleviates any of that stress.

If you want to read a great article about our order of worship, I'd encourage you to check out "Holy Communion: A Rookie Anglican Guide" from the Anglican Compass.
The central focus of our service is sharing in the Lord's Supper, also known as Holy Communion or Holy Eucharist. You will also hear and read four lessons from Scripture (Old Testament, Psalm, Epistle, and the Gospel reading).
We sing hymns. Most are traditional hymns. Our goal is to choose music that the majority of us will know.

Who can receive the bread and wine during Holy Communion?
You do not have to be an Anglican or confirmed any particular tradition to participate in worship or receive communion with us. We welcome all baptized Christians who believe in the apostolic Christian faith as presented in the words of the Nicene Creed, who have examined their hearts in confession, and come expecting to receive the body and blood of Christ.
If you wish not to receive communion, but you would like to come forward to receive a blessing (or prayer), as the priest walks around with the bread and wine, place your hands across your chest. This will signify to the priest to pray a short prayer for you.

What we believe about Holy Communion
First off, Holy Communion goes by many names: the mass, Eucharist, Lord's Supper, or communion.
There is also a vast degree of understanding in Christendom about the purpose and meaning of communion.
As a chapel in the Anglican tradition, we believe that the supper is both a sign (something that points us towards God) and a sacrament (a means of God's grace). We believe that God uses the sacraments to convey grace to those who receive them by faith, and faith is a gift from God.
To take the bread is to partake of the body of Christ and to drink the cup is to partake of the blood of Christ.
The Thirty-Nine Articles of Religion to help succinctly describe our beliefs. With regards to communion, we can look at Article 28. Of the Lord's Supper, which a portion of reads:

The Supper of the Lord is not only a sign of the love that Christians ought to have among themselves one to another, but rather it is a Sacrament of our Redemption by Christ’s death: insomuch that to such as rightly, worthily, and with faith, receive the same, the Bread which we break is a partaking of the Body of Christ; and likewise the Cup of Blessing is a partaking of the Blood of Christ.
