    Worship Information

    Let us praise God together!

    At Holy Cross Anglican Church, we come to worship our Lord “corporately.”  What this means, is that we gather together as a family, and worship our Lord together in unity.  As the Body of Christ, we lift up each other to Him as we worship and pray together. 

    At Holy Cross, we use the 1928 Book of Common Prayer, and we accept and strive to follow the thirty-nine Articles of Religion as found on pages 603-611 of the Prayer Book. 

    Our Sunday services are held at 10:30 A.M every Sunday morning, celebrating Holy Communion.  We also celebrate Holy Communion on Wednesday evenings at 6:15 P.M.  Wednesday evening is followed up by Men and Women’s Bible Study, which begins at 7:00 PM.  All other Prayer Book Feast day services are held at 12:00 P.M unless otherwise stated.

    Those who are unfamiliar with our Traditional Anglican service according to the Book of Common Prayer (1928), please note that there are some yellow booklets in the pews for your ease of following the service.  If you can not find one available please ask the usher to provide you with one.  He will be glad to do so!

    Please remember, that you are not here as a spectator, but to worship and join with the hearts and voices of the other people in the united adoration of our Living God.  Your Priest is here to worship with you and to provide the Holy Sacrament of the Eucharist to you.

    Yours in Faith,

    Ernie Pinto, SSA+
    Vicar, Holy Cross Anglican Church

    Church Etiquette

    " The Lord is in his holy temple: let all the earth keep silence before him." 

    To honor the temple of God please observe the following: 

    Upon entering the Nave, please be thoughtful, be silent, and be reverent. Remember into Whose living presence you have come, for this is the House of God. Before the service, kneel down humbly and pray to the Lord. During the service, let the Lord speak to you; fasten your thoughts firmly on the service. After the service, remember where you are and what you have done. Be reverent as you leave the nave, speaking to one another in the narthex and parish hall. 

    If you arrive late, please enter the Nave as quietly as possible as there are many who are in prayer. (Thank you for your thoughtfulness.)

    One should be aware of the Invitation, Confession and Absolution and not receive Communion if you have come into church after the General Confession. 

    Communion

    If you wish to receive Communion, come forward using the center aisle, take your place in the line, and fill the altar rail at the direction of the usher. 

    Receive the Body of our Lord into the palm of your hand. 

    You may then do one of three things
     

    (1)consume the Body and the Precious Blood of our Lord from the chalice as it is offered to you.
    (2)leave the Body of our Lord in your open palm and let the chalice bearer take it, and dip it into the Precious Blood within the chalice, placing it on your tongue; or
    (3) abstain from receiving the Precious Blood of our Lord by crossing your arms in front of you. 

    Return to your seat via the side aisles.
