The latest addition, which greatly improves the usefulness of the entire building as well as making all the building handicapped accessible, was dedicated by Bishop Lee on February 22, 1999. A lovely Memorial Garden, one of the first in this area, continues to be available to members and friends of St. Gregory's.
During the last 50 years, St. Gregory's has been led by seven different Rectors. Mother Rachael Evans our newest Rector, joined us in the fall of 2009.
Our Worship Schedule:
Traditionally, St. Gregory's has Eucharist every Sunday morning. We have an 8:00 am and 10:30 am service during the school year, and a single 9:00 am service in the summer. Rite II is used most of the year, with the exceptions of Advent and Lent, when we use Rite I.
Our Sunday School Program meets on Sunday mornings at 10:30 am. During the Peace, the children join their families in the church for Eucharist. The 3rd Sunday of each month, during the school year, is Youth Sunday. Our young people are the greeters and lesson readers, they participate in the offering, bring the elements to the altar and pass the offertory plates. We welcome their special music from time to time. We hope that this gives our young people an opportunity to gain the confidence and knowledge to fully participate in the service.
Our choir is a vibrant group that sings at our late service. Our hymnody is is enhanced by our 100+ year old
tracker pipe organ with beautiful tone qualities. Click the link to see a wonderful study of our organ. We also enjoy a 'guitar mass' on the third Sunday of the month.
Our priest is assisted at the altar by Lay Eucharistic Ministers, lay readers that rotate Sundays and services and by a small core of Acolytes. We recently instituted Eucharistic Visitors that take Holy Communion to our shut-ins as requested.
Our Altar Guild is has a large group that also rotate Sundays. Their commitment and prayerful concern for the everyday tasks concerning the altar is commendable. For this reason, they have their own web page! Click the link below!
