Whether you are exploring, questioning, switching, or returning, we welcome you.

We are a family-friendly parish and welcome children. The 9:30 am Sunday service begins with a children's story, featuring Father Chris' large collection of puppets. There is also a church school, nursery, and a children's space in the church.

Welcome
What is worship?

In worship we gather as a community to:

• praise God and giving thanks for all we have received

• ask for what we need

• receive guidance for our lives

• reflect on the needs of the world

• celebrate Christ's redeeming sacrifice through the Eucharist

What are the services like?

• Our style is informal, contemporary, and follows the Anglican tradition.

• Lay people read scripture, lead prayers, assist with the Eucharist, and welcome newcomers.

• The services are easy-to-follow.

• The music includes traditional hymns, Taize chants, gospel and folk music. A choir leads the singing at the 9:30 am service.

• We celebrate the liturgical seasons of the Church, beginning with Advent, followed by Christmas, Epiphany, Lent, Easter and Pentecost.

Many ways to worship:

As well as Sunday morning worship services, we offer other opportunities to gather during the week for prayer, meditation and the Eucharist.

• Jazz vespers

• Choral Evensong

• Informal evening prayer

• Wednesday morning Eucharist

• Centering Prayer

• Quiet time in the chapel

• Special liturgies

• Labyrinth walks

Music

At ASW, music is an important part of our worship.
