5:00 pm · Holy Eucharist (Spanish Language - En Español)

St. Alban's offers an opportunity to worship in the Episcopal tradition but in the Spanish language for native speakers or for those learning it as a second language.  Come experience this vibrant service and experience the warmth of the Spanish Language Eucharist.  For more about Spanish Language ministry at St. Alban's check out our "Bienvenido" page.

5:30 pm · Holy Eucharist - Nourse Hall

This contemplative service with incense provides a good choice for those who relish informality in worship or for those whose schedules make attending an early evening service more convenient. It offers a uniquely hands-on opportunity for participants to read the lessons and prayers, and to serve the chalice. Following the service there is always an opportunity to share in fellowship - to continue the conversation started in the shared sermon, to enjoy snacks and drinks, and develop new relationships with a diverse crowd of people.

Upcoming Readings
