Divine Worship

Sunday: 9:00 a.m.

(Holy Communion on first, third, and fifth Sundays)
The Sacrament of Holy Communion is administered at 8:30 a.m. on the second and fourth Sunday of each month.

Wednesday: 12:00 noon

(Holy Communion occurs at all noon services.) Our nursery, staffed on Sunday mornings, is available for families with young children. We encourage children to take part in

service, but if they become upset, the nursery is available. The nursery has a window and speaker, allowing parents to both

see and hear the service.

For Those With Hearing or Visual Difficulties

We provide large print bulletins and amplification devices for those with hearing difficulties to use during our service. Contact the church office for more information and to obtain a device.

Liturgical Worship

Prince of Peace is a “liturgical” church which means that our worship is patterned after the historic liturgy of the Church. We worship this way because it’s biblical, it is Christ-centered, it helps us to show awe and reverence for God, and our liturgy connects us to Christians all over the world and throughout history.

When you examine the Divine Service as laid out in our hymnal or worship bulletin, you will notice that much of what is sung or said contain direct quotations of Scripture. Our church fathers understood that Bible passages would be memorized if they were said over and over again, so every week we repeat many of these important Bible passages during the Divine Service. (Hymnals have been removed during the pandemic.)

The Colors and Seasons of the Church Year

Our worship during the church year is shaped by the church calendar, a rich tradition which is based on the life of Jesus Christ. In addition, everything in the Sanctuary at Prince of Peace is designed to help us worship, and remember the teachings of the Bible. You will notice colors displayed on banners and around the altar area, and worn by the Pastor and acolytes. The calendar and colors emphasize different aspects of Christian life.
