We are now gathering in person for indoor Sunday services in our sanctuary. We are doing so thoughtfully and carefully in compliance with state, county, and diocesan requirements. You are welcome to join us for worship every Sunday morning, whether in person or online. Our current worship practices, as of January 5, 2022, are detailed below.

8:00 am (in-person, without music and not livestreamed)
10:15 am (in-person, with music, and livestreamed)

Everyone is welcome but not required to wear masks at church. There are extra surgical masks available at church if you need them.
We have extra chairs in the sanctuary to make it easier for people keep more space between each other.
We are now offering both bread and wine/grape juice in a common cup at communion.
We will gather for coffee hour afterwards outside on the plaza, weather permitting.
As ever, if you are feeling at all unwell, please stay home and join us by livestream on our website or through our Facebook page.

Our community is made up of people of all ages, religious backgrounds, political positions, family configurations, ethnicities and church experience. We share a love of and connection to God and each other, a sense of meaning and belonging, a yearning to grow in our faith, and a desire to serve Christ by reaching out to others in the community. We also have a lot of fun together.

Worship is at the heart of our life together, and Episcopal worship is rich in symbolism and tradition. At the same time, it is a contemporary expression of our belief and faith in a Living God who is present and accessible in material and ordinary things.

The Episcopal Church has a legacy of inclusion, aspiring to tell and exemplify God’s love for every human being; women and men serve as bishops, priests, and deacons in our church, and some of the first transgender priests in the Episcopal Church serve here in in the Diocese of California. Laypeople and clergy cooperate as leaders at all levels of our church. Leadership is a gift from God, and can be expressed by all people in our church, regardless of gender identity or sexual orientation. We are delighted to offer the sacrament of marriage (and all other sacraments) to all couples, no matter their genders. We believe that God loves you – no exceptions.

Stewardship is the practice of caring for and working with all that we have. How we choose to spend our money is one sign of what is important to us, and it can be an intentional expression of gratitude for all that God has given us. A pledge is a promise most members of our church make each year for how we intend to give money to Church of the Resurrection in the next year. Annual pledges support everything we do here.
