About Our Sunday Services
At St. Bride's, you can expect worship that is rooted in the Anglican tradition and enlivened by contemporary and relevant perspectives. We hope you can join us in person for one of our two Sunday services. We live stream our 10am service, and keep an archive of service and sermon recordings on our website.
Our 8:30 a.m. service is a traditional, smaller, quieter service. This service includes the Book of Common Prayer (BCP), and a time for Holy Communion.
Our 10 a.m. service is a larger, more contemporary family service. We use the Book of Alternative Services (BAS), there is more music than the 8:30 a.m. service, and includes The Good News Club (Sunday school) for children.
Meeting new people at church can be hard. And as much as we want you to feel comfortable and welcome, we don’t always know if someone is here for the first time. Please let our greeters know if this is your first time as you enter, or if you’re looking to connect.
After the 10 a.m. service, we gather to catch up with each other over coffee in the Fellowship room at the back of the church. This is a great way to meet others. Please join us! We would love to see you and get to know you.

As we look forward to the New Year, Grace asked us to be open to the unexpected ways that God shows up in our lives. Know that God is with us and will guide us through new beginnings.

Canon Stephen Peake, Rector, St. Bride's
Canon Stephen explored the disciples' "blind spots". He referenced the passages just prior to Sunday's Gospel Mark chapters 8 - 10. He asked us to reflect on things that are OUR spiritual blind spots.
Praveen Bhatt, Lay Minister, St. Bride's
Praveen Bhatt delivered the message. He warned parishioners that it was "a complete overview of the Bible in about 15 minutes". It was simple overview of the overarching biblical narrative specifically focusing on how Jesus restored the original intent of God for humanity.
Canon Stephen Peake, Rector, St. Bride's
Canon Stephen talked about Thankfulness and Happiness. Where do we find Happiness? We must turn to God and faith. Faith is about where we put our trust. We don't have to understand everything, we just have to be willing to trust. Canon Stephen referenced The Happiness Lab Podcasts and Dr. Laurie Santos (see https://www.pushkin.fm/podcasts/the-happiness-lab-with-dr-laurie-santos).
