Services
At St. Martin’s, our worship is traditional and engaging. We offer two Eucharists every Sunday, each with their own characteristics. Both services include a sermon and allow for lay participation in various ways.
How we worship at St. Martin’s-in-the-Field:
8:00 A.M. Worship
This simple spoken service uses traditional language. This intimate gathering lends itself to more contemplative worship. The priest is assisted by a single lay server, and lay people read the lessons and lead the Prayers of the People.
10:00 A.M. Worship
This service uses contemporary language and features musical accompaniment from our Director of Music Ministries, choir, and, on occasion, bell choir.
During the 10:00 a.m. service, young children are invited to participate in a Children’s Chapel in the Parish Hall during the sequence hymn. They return at the Peace. Also at this service our clergy are assisted by acolytes, a verger, a lay server, and a chalicist. Lay people read the lessons and lead the Prayers of the People. Our A/V team livestreams this service each week.
St. Martin’s-in-the-Field is primarily a Prayer Book parish. Most Sundays, our entire service can be found in either The Book of Common Prayer or The Hymnal, 1982. However, we do include hymns from Lift Every Voice and Sing (LEVAS) and Wonder, Love and Praise (WLP) and other sources, such as Enriching Our Worship, on a regular basis.
Children in Church
We welcome children of all ages to all of our services and invite them to check out our children’s and youth programs. For children three years and under we offer child care.
You’re invited to join us for refreshments and fellowship in the Narthex following worship.
