At St. Paul's Church-by-the-Lake, we make use of the Rites found in the Book of Common Prayer. This order provides a lectionary of Scriptural lessons and spiritual themes for each week and season of the year, guiding our community through a historical pattern of worship and prayer.
St. Paul’s liturgy comes from the Anglican Service Book, a worship book that draws on the best of the 1928 and 1979 Books of Common Prayer. Noted as ASB in the bulletin, you can find copies of this black bound book in your pew rack to follow along as we worship. If kneeling or standing is not possible for you, you may remain seated. And finally, a friendly reminder to please be aware of personal belongings while at church—we recommend you not bring valuables to church and that you never leave your purse or such unattended.
