About Worship Today
Holy Cross Day has been celebrated since the fourth century. Early in that century, Helena, the mother of Constantine, led a pilgrimage to Jerusalem and directed excavations of the hill of Calvary. There on Calvary the cross on which Christ was crucified was believed to have been found. Constantine ordered that a basilica be built on the spot, and the church was dedicated on September 14, 335. Through the cross Christ has brought salvation for all. We draw strength from the empty cross which has overpowered death with eternal life. We are called by Christ to glorify the cross and to lift up all people as children of God.
The Holy Eucharist, the principal act of Christian worship on the Lord's Day and other major Feasts, and Daily Morning and Evening Prayer, as set forth in the Book of Common Prayer, 1979, are the regular services appointed for public worship in the Episcopal Church. At Christ Church we celebrate the Holy Eucharist every Sunday, and also on Holy Days and other occasions.
Today’s liturgy is from the red Book of Common Prayer 1979. All hymns are taken from the blue Hymnal 1982 or other authorized hymnals for use in the Episcopal Church. All hymns are reprinted with permission under OneLicense.net A713125.
