Sunday 8:00AM Service
Holy Eucharist—Rite I

The 8:00 AM Sunday Service at St. Marks celebrates the Holy Eucharist—Rite I. Perfect for early risers, this service offers a traditional Episcopal worship which includes:

• A reading from the Old Testament of the Holy Bible
• A reading of a Psalm
• A reading from the New Testament of the Holy Bible
• A reading from the Gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ
• A sermon or homily
• A Celebration of Holy Communion (Eucharist)

St. Mark's uses The Book of Common Prayer of the Episcopal Church. The page numbers of prayers used in the service are abbreviated as BCP, p. # in the program. Several copies of the Book of Common Prayer are found in each pew.

Everyone who comes to St. Mark's is welcome to fully participate in the worship service. To receive communion, stand or kneel at the altar rail and open your hands for the bread. Guide the chalice by placing your hand at the base, or gently dip your bread into the chalice to receive the wine. If you would prefer a blessing instead, please cross your hands over your heart.
