Worship at St. Paul's
St. Paul's is following all current State and Diocesan Guidelines.
Due to COVID-19, all worship offerings are subject to change.
Summer 2021
Limited, in-person worship with Holy Eucharist. There are two services, at 8 and 10 am. We live-stream the 8 am, service via the YouTube channel "Virginia Heistand." The 8 am service will be Holy Eucharist I through May. The HDA pew is available, as filming will take place in the balcony.
We aim to keep the services short, especially the indoor 8 am service, to limit everyone's exposure to recirculated air. Pre-reservation is encouraged for contact tracing. They can be made by calling the church office at (401)294-4357 ext. 105 by the Friday before the service at 1 pm. The doors to the church open 5 minutes before the service starts.
The 10 am service (Holy Eucharist II) is outdoors on the Greeneway whenever weather permits. We still encourage pre-registration for contact tracing purposes by calling the office. Please bring your own lawn chairs for outdoors services.
Per State and Diocesan guidelines for worship, masks must be worn and at least 3 feet of social distancing must be maintained.

"The Book of Common Prayer is a treasure chest full of devotional and teaching resources for individuals and congregations, but it is also the primary symbol of our unity. As Armentrout and Slocum note in their Episcopal Dictionary of the Church, that 'Anglican liturgical piety has been rooted in the Prayer Book tradition since the publication of the first English Prayer Book in 1549.'
We, who are many and diverse, come together in Christ through our worship, our common prayer. The prayer book, most recently revised in 1979, contains our liturgies, our prayers, our theological documents, and much, much more." episcopalchurch.org/book-common-prayer

"I come with Christians far and near to find, as all are fed, the new community of love in Christ's communion bread. As Christ breaks bread and bids us share, each proud division ends. That love that made us makes us one, and strangers now are friends." #304, 1982 Hymnal, Verses 2&3
