Worship Services

The focus of our life together is our worship, and Episcopal worship is rich in symbolism and tradition while maintaining its relevance to this time, place, and culture.

Sunday morning worship is held, both in-person and online, at 10:00 am. The service is typically around one hour in length and includes music. At St. Anselm's, we believe in keeping service fresh and thoughtful, which is why we draw from the rich variety offered in the global communion of Anglican churches for our prayers and readings.

Worship at St. Anselm’s reflects our belief that there are many ways to worship, pray, express our faith. All services are celebrations of Holy Communion.

Per the Diocese of California, in-person worship is allowed under the following conditions:

• Masks are optional for all in the congregation.
• Communion wine is offered in a common chalice.
• Intinction (dipping the bread in the wine) is not allowed. 
• Please stay at home if feeling unwell.

Worship is available online via zoom, and attendees online will be able to offer prayers that will be heard by congregants in the church building, bringing us all into communion. Read along with the bulletin for this Sunday's service for those attending online. You may use this link to join the service on Zoom.

As we seek to be an even more warm and welcoming space for children of all ages, St. Anselm's weekly 10 a.m service on the First Sunday of every month will be structured to be especially family friendly.

Each month, First Sundays will include: 

• Playful and energetic music
• Interactive storytime in place of sermon
• A craft and other activities connected with the lesson
• Yummy snacks & bouncy house after the service.

Please check the calendar for details regarding the theme of each First Sunday!
