Worship with us Sundays at 9:30 AM

Church of St. Alban, Roxborough

You belong — Come as you are.

Why Do We Worship?

We worship together as a community because in praising God, we are fed by grace, joined in love, and sent to live as Christ’s Body in the world.

In worship, we proclaim God’s power, mission, and love, and we respond with our whole selves within the community of believers.

For Episcopalians, this takes shape in a liturgical tradition rooted in Scripture and the Sacraments — through readings, hymns, preaching, prayer, and the celebration of the Holy Eucharist.

Christ in Our Worship

In our worship, Christ Jesus feeds us with his own life. When we gather for the Holy Eucharist — the sacrament of Christ’s Body and Blood — we share in the mystery of God’s self-giving love made known in Jesus.

At the altar, all the baptized are welcome to receive, and all are invited to come forward for a blessing.

On Sundays when we share Morning Prayer, we are still gathered as one Body to hear the Word of God, to pray, and to lift our hearts together.

Every service — with or without Communion — is the work of the whole assembly: offering praise, seeking reconciliation, and being formed again as the people of God. In these shared acts, we learn what it means to be fed and to feed others in Christ’s name.

New here?

We know visiting a church can be intimidating. Here’s what to expect.

⏰ Service Time

Arrive anytime around 9:15–9:30 AM — and even if you’re late, you’re welcome!

Our service begins at 9:30 AM. Most attendees arrive a few minutes early to get a bulletin, find a seat, and settle in. If you come after we’ve started, no problem—just come in, grab a bulletin, and find a seat. Hymn numbers are posted on the board to your left: regular numbers are in Hymnal 1982, and those beginning with “L” are in Lift Every Voice and Sing.

👕 What to Wear

Come as you are — God’s glad to see you, not your outfit.

We’re here to worship, not to worry about what anyone wears. Dress however you feel comfortable and ready to meet God, who, in Jesus, often wore sandals!

🧒 Kids

Children are always welcome in worship.

“Busy bags” are available at the back of the sanctuary. The Staneruck Room (through the parish hall toward the restrooms) has a changing table, a few toys, and a rocking chair if your little one needs a break. Come and go as you please — we’re glad you’re here.

🍞 Communion

All baptized Christians are invited to receive the Bread and Wine; blessings are offered to any who prefer.

Communion is the moment when we gather at Christ’s Table to receive the Body and Blood of Christ in Bread and Wine. Holy Baptism is the sacrament by which God adopts us as God’s children and makes us members of Christ’s Body. The Holy Eucharist is the sacrament Christ commanded for the continual remembrance of his life, death, and resurrection. Because baptism is how we enter God’s family, communion — the family meal — is reserved for those who have entered through baptism.
