Worship at ECM
|
|
|
At
the very center of what we do at ECM is worship. We
believe God created us to be in love with God and with one
another, and one of the primary ways we express that love is
through prayer, music, and fellowship during worship each
week.
Q. When do you
worship?
A. ECM has dinner
and worships together each Tuesday night at 7:30 p.m. at
Trinity Episcopal Church, located on the corner of Country Club Rd. and
the Bypass.
(map) It's always
very low key, so feel free come as you are. If you're
looking for Sunday worship, visit Trinity at 8:30 a.m. for a
traditional spoken service or at 10:30
a.m. for a service with music. |

Q. How do you
worship?
A. Our primary form
of worship is called "Eucharist" (pronounced YOO-ka-rist)
which means "thanksgiving" in Greek. It is also known
in other traditions as the Lord's Supper, Holy Communion, or
Mass. Each time we gather, we read and reflect on the
Scriptures, say prayers, sing songs, and share in the bread
and wine that symbolize to us Christ's love and sacrifice
for us. This is just about the most ancient way of
Christian worship, so when we share in the Eucharist
together, we are joining our hearts and voices with
Christians not only throughout the world, but also
throughout history. You can find out more about our
worship on our episco-what?
page.
Q. What should I
know before I come?
A. If all of that
sounds complicated, don't worry ... it's all laid out in our
service book, which makes participating very easy, even for
newcomers. Episcopalians have a saying: "All may; some
should; none must." Know that when you come to worship
with us, you are free to participate as much or as little as
you feel led. Some jump right in, participating in our
discussions, singing loudly and off key, and joining in the
prayers. Other hold back a little until they have a
better handle on what's going on. Either way is fine;
just know that you have a place at our table. |
