Celtic Service
Every Third Sunday of the Month
Experience worship in a familiar, but special, evening candlelight service. In a contemplative atmosphere, we share beautiful music, moments of silence, lighting of candles, collective prayers, scripture readings, a simple homily, and Holy Eucharist.
This Celtic worship service is inspired by the liturgical traditions of early Celtic Christians from Ireland and the Isle of Iona. Founded in the sixth century, this worship is traditional, yet unique; is Christ centered, yet acknowledges the many ways we encounter God on our earthly journey.
Everyone is welcome to join us on the third Sunday of each month to follow this beautiful Celtic tradition of worship.
