Welcome! Reflecting God's love, and the spirit of St. Francis, we welcome all into our midst, as Christ welcomes us. 

If you’ve never worshiped with us before, you might find a few of the movements, gestures, and recitations confusing. Never fear! The bulletin will inform you when to stand, when to sit, and when to kneel as you are able. Keep in mind that these practices are suggestions, not requirements, for tapping into the divine and deepening your faith practice. However you worship is the appropriate way to engage.

Worship at St. Francis on the Hill is informed by the Book of Common Prayer and follows the liturgical cycle. Priests and Lay Ministers work in tandem during the service to offer Scripture readings and to administer the sacrament of Communion. Supported by our choir and accompanied by organ and piano, we sing primarily from the 1982 Hymnal, but we invite all manner of musical worship. The service can be divided into two main parts - the Word, wherein we hear scripture readings, prayers, and hymns, and the Eucharist, a weekly celebration of Communion. All are welcome to receive Communion, or if they’d prefer, to receive a blessing at the altar rail.
