At each Sunday service we celebrate the Eucharist together, as has been the practice in many churches since the time of the apostles. In the Eucharist we gather to be nurtured as a community, experience reconciliation with God, and are then challenged and empowered by the Spirit to go forth into the world. You are welcome at this table, where Christ himself is our host, no matter who you are or what labels the world puts on you. If you desire a closer experience of God and to share that love with others, come.
All are offered the consecrated bread and the wine (gluten free wafers are available and those who prefer may receive the bread only). Since the Covid pandemic, it has been our practice to receive the wine in individual cups, which are gathered and reverently washed after the service.
If you wish not to receive Holy Communion, you may still come forward for a blessing, folding your arms across your chest. You are also welcome to remain seated during this time. We want you to come as you are, as you are able, when you are ready – whether you have much faith or little, have tried to follow, or are afraid you’ve failed. You are welcome to participate in worship at All Saints Cathedral as fully as you feel comfortable.
Music is an important part of our worship. At both services we sing hymns. At the 1 am service the pipe organ and Cathedral choir lead music.
