Worship
To help make our worship experience together more meaningful we ask that you:
Turn off pagers and cellular phones. Please do participate! Your parts are printed in bold in the pamphlet handed to you at the door at the start of the service.
Welcome Children. Special bags with activity pages which reflect the gospel are located at the entrance of the church. Look for the green box. Please return bags at the end of the service.
Come to the Lord's Table. If you wish to receive Communion: Please come forward to the altar rail (we will bring communion to you if you are unable to come forward). Extend your hands, palms up to receive the bread; gently help guide the cup to your mouth. If you do not wish to receive the wine, please cross your arms in front of you. Receiving just the bread is a valid communion. Gluten-free wafers are available. All are welcome.

Please note: St. Gregory’s is an intergenerational church. People of all ages worship together in this sacred space. Our worship is planned to meet a wide range of age, experience and ability. Sometimes our worship may be a bit more participatory. Sometimes periods of silence may not be quite as silent. Our prayers may be shorter and include more voices. The sermons may contain more stories and/or drama. Younger people may be bringing up the bread and wine or helping take up the collection. This way of worshiping together may require a little patience, understanding and humor. Parts of the worship service are printed in this bulletin because we want to make your participation as easy as possible.

We are a radically welcoming community for all persons regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, age, or physical abilities
