Service Information
We have two services on Sundays, one at 8:15 a.m. and
the other at 10:15 a.m. All services offer the Sacrament
of Holy Eucharist. The 10:15 service features
spiritual music, including full choir and pipe organ,
as well as nursery care. On the first and third
Sundays, we offer the Ministry of Healing to those
who so desire immediately following Communion at both
services. If you would like to come and
join us, please look at our schedule of services and

familiar with the Episcopal liturgy, to follow along
and participate in the service.
The order of the service
is always the same with readings from the Bible followed
by the sermon, the prayers and then the Eucharist,
which is also called Holy Communion. At St. Dunstan's
anyone who has been baptized is welcome to receive
bread and wine. Others may participate by going to
the altar rail to receive a blessing.
Choirs
St. Dunstan's has four choirs from
September-June, and then a summer choir. The Adult
choir rehearses on Thursday evenings and sings at the
10:15 a.m. service every week. The Joy choir and Praise
choir (both children's choirs) sing at periodic
family services and throughout the year. Teens and
young at heart adults in the Spirit choir sing a blend
of contemporary and traditional music at family and
other special services. Everyone is welcome.
