How to Plan Your Visit
- Choose a service by rhythm, not just time. The Saturday evening Eucharist suits people who want a quieter start to the weekend; the two Sunday Eucharists follow the more traditional morning pattern, with Sunday School slotted between them so families can attend class and then worship at 10:30 a.m.
- Arrive a few minutes early for the Sunday 10:30 a.m. service. Sunday School lets out at 10:30 a.m., so the period right before that service is the busiest transition of the week.
- Check before a holiday weekend. The published schedule lists regular weekly services; special feast days and holiday weekends can shift or replace them, so confirm on the site if you are visiting around Christmas, Easter, or a major national holiday.
If You Cannot Attend in Person
The site includes a Watch Online option alongside the worship and Sunday School listings, so you can follow along remotely when you cannot be there in person. The schedule page does not state whether the stream covers every service or only Sunday worship, so treat the online option as a supplement and confirm the specific service you want to watch.
What Else the Site Tells You
St. Columb's describes itself as "a church of welcome and inclusion" and "a family of God's people sharing God's grace, love, and compassion," and identifies as a parish of The Episcopal Church in Mississippi. The site also offers a Subscribe option for updates — useful if you want schedule changes or seasonal service adjustments sent to you rather than checking the page each week.
Quick Answer for a First Visit
If you want the simplest plan: attend the Sunday 10:30 a.m. Holy Eucharist, arrive by about 10:20 a.m., and use the 9:30 a.m. Sunday School hour beforehand if you have children or want a study group. If Sunday mornings are difficult, the Saturday 5 p.m. service is the alternative.
