When you come up the driveway at 1620 Reisterstown Road, the church will be immediately on the left. From the parking spaces on the campus, you can clearly see the church, cloister walk, and parish hall. In the locally quarried stone narthex, you will be greeted by our friendly ushers.
Our buildings were modeled after 13th and 14th century English Gothic and monastic architectural styles; the narthex, sanctuary, and altar receive light from a vaulted timber ceiling and 12 stained glass windows. The ringing of the bell from the memorial bell tower signals the start of the service.
The worship service is printed in a bulletin for your convenience. Our choir leads us in hymns from our 1982 hymnal, Lift Every Voice and Sing (LEVAS) or Wonder Love and Praise songbooks. The Book of Common Prayer is also placed in the book rack in your pew. Everyone is invited to come to the Lord’s table for communion. If you would not like to drink from the communal cup of salvation, just cross your arms over your chest, and you will receive a blessing.
As you return to your seat through the chapel, you may stop to light a candle for personal reflection. A restroom can be found downstairs from the chapel hallway to our newly renovated restroom in the church. Alternatively, a restroom can be found outside of the chapel area door where a short covered breezeway will take you to the parish hall. A restroom is just inside the door on your right.
After the service, you are cordially invited to Coffee hour! A few treats are offered, as well as fellowship, and a candid, informal Bible study led by Father Ed. Hope to see you there!
