The Worship Committee has been re-formed and we have several exciting plans for new worship services and feast day observances, and a few ideas to make Sunday mornings at St Greg's that much more impactful and run a bit smoother for everyone involved in making worship happen.
The first thing you'll begin to notice from the pews is the return of a St Greg's practice we haven't seen since before COVID - we will be bringing in some "smells and bells" on feast days! Beginning on Pentecost (May 24th) at the 10:30 service, one of our youth acolytes will take on the role of thurifer and carry incense during the procession and another will ring sanctus bells as we celebrate the Eucharist.
We will only be using these elements to mark particularly special occasions and dates on our liturgical calendar and it will be our practice to remind the congregation both in our weekly newsletter and during announcements on Sunday mornings so that any parishioners who have sensitivities to scents/smoke may plan to attend the 8am service or sit further away from the aisle so as to avoid close contact with the smoke.
If you have any questions please reach out to the Worship Committee or Mother Nikki.
