First and Third Wednesday at 11:30a.m.:  Healing Services 

Church School:  Sunday after labor day in September through  the third Sunday in June at 10:00 a.m.  Children age Pre-K through Grade 2 participate in a Children's service.  During reconstruction the location of this service will be subject to change.

Church School Eucharist:  On those Sundays when we celebrate the Eucharist in Church, which are not Family Sundays (usually the first Sunday of the month), children in Grades 3-8 begin in Church with their families. At the sermon hymn, they, and their teachers, process out to a location (to be determined during the reconstruction) where one of the clergy leads them in their own celebration of the Eucharist. We use a slightly adapted version of the Rite II liturgy from the Prayer Book, assigning different parts of the service to ten different children to read. This service normally ends at about 10:40 am, at which time the students and teachers go to their classes for their Sunday lesson.

Weekdays:  Special services are also held in accordance with the Church calendar.

* Variations in the local and Church calendar will prompt changes in this base schedule.  The 10:00 a.m. service will be the Eucharist on these Sundays in the Church year regardless of when they fall in the month.  The First Sunday of Church School, The First Sunday of Advent, The Last Sunday after the Epiphany, The First Sunday in Lent, Palm Sunday, Easter Sunday, Pentecost, Trinity Sunday, and any Episcopal Visitation.  In the Summer the second service begins at 9:30 a.m.  Parishioners are invited to attend summer services in informal attire.

Lay Readers lead worship through the reading of lessons, leading prayers, and assisting at Communion. In accordance with the national canons of the Church, the Rector invites and trains Lay Readers, and, on the recommendation of the Rector, the Bishop licenses them to serve. 

The Altar Guild prepares the altar and other areas of the Church for worship and cares for many of the objects which make services beautiful, dignified, and holy. The Altar Guild provides for the care of our silver, linens, liturgical hangings, needlework, candles, and the bread and wine we use at communion. Parishioners - men, women, and children - interested in joining the Altar Guild should speak with Jenny Breining or the Rector.

The altar flowers are given each week in memory of departed loved ones or in thanksgiving for our many blessings. We have permanent memorials and thanksgivings, but always welcome new ones at any time.

Acolytes lead processions, assist in preparing the altar for communion, lead congregational responses, and provide essential assistance in leading worship. The Rector invites members of St. Elizabeth's in grades 4 through 12 to serve as acolytes. Interested young people or their parents should speak with the Rector.
