Rite I is a contemplative service without music that uses more traditional, formal language. Aside from these differences, it retains all of the parts of the Rite II service.
The Rite II uses more contemporary language and has music, congregational singing, and a full choir.
Holy Eucharist and Healing is a mid-week service with a focus on those who suffer for any reason. Special healing liturgy and the reading of individual names for prayer are included in this intimate service.
Join us for a new season of Church on the Green!
March 10 St. Patrick Theme: Celtic Spirituality
Join us for Church on the Green on Sunday, March 10, 2024 as we celebrate St. Patrick’s Day! As patron saint of Ireland, St. Patrick is a significant figure in the tradition of Celtic Christianity, with its particularly emphasis on finding God in nature. Legend has it St. Patrick often taught about God by pointing to the natural world around him. Join us this week as we learn from the Celtic tradition and form deeper connections with the earth around us. Bring a leaf, rock, three leaf clover, shell, blade of grass, or other item of nature from a place particularly important to you (your lawn, a nearby park, the beach) as we bless your encounters with God in nature.
March 24 Palm Sunday Theme: The Palm
Join us for Church on the Green on Sunday, March 24 as we celebrate Palm Sunday. Palm branches, which represented victory, triumph, and peace in the ancient world were waved and laid in the path of Jesus as he entered Jerusalem at the beginning of holy week. Here in Palm Beach County, the palm continues to be a central image in our lives. Come reflect with us on the significance of the palm branch as we enter this sacred week before Easter. Bring the palms received at the morning’s service for more special prayers.
April 14 Spring Sowing Theme: Planting Seeds
Join us for Church on the Green on Sunday, April 14 as we celebrate the planting of seeds. On Plough Sunday we prayed and reflected on the preparation of land and blessed workers of the earth and their tools. At this service we discuss the planting of seeds after the land has been prepared. With our hearts ploughed and ready, what seeds is God planting in our lives? We will say a blessing over packets of sunflower seeds which will be given out to attendees!
