What Worship Services Does St. Anne's in-the-Fields Offer on Sundays?
Updated
St. Anne's in-the-Fields Episcopal Church holds two Sunday services: a spoken Holy Eucharist at 8 am and Holy Eucharist with Choir at 10 am. The 10 am service is also livestreamed, so you can attend in person or watch from home. Both services are open to visitors.
Sunday Service Schedule
| Time | Service | Format |
|---|---|---|
| 8 am | Holy Eucharist | Spoken |
| 10 am | Holy Eucharist with Choir | In person and livestreamed |
The 8 am service is a quieter, spoken liturgy without music. The 10 am service includes the choir and is the one the church streams online, which makes it the better option if you want music or can't attend in person.
What to Expect as a Visitor
St. Anne's describes itself as a vibrant and loving Christian community, and the congregation draws members from Lincoln, Concord, Wayland, Sudbury, Maynard, Acton, and surrounding towns. If you're new, the church offers a welcome message from the Rector, Garrett Yates, on its website.
For the 10 am service, a bulletin is posted online, so you can follow along with the order of worship before or during the service.
Children and Families
The church lists a dedicated section for children and families, indicating that families with kids are part of the community and have resources available. Check that page for specifics on what's offered for younger attendees.
Practical Notes
- Livestream access: The 10 am service is streamed, so you can join remotely if you can't make it in person.
- Which service to choose: If you prefer a contemplative, spoken service, go at 8 am. If you want music and a fuller liturgy, choose 10 am.
- Before you go: Review the 10 am bulletin online to familiarize yourself with the service.
Staying Connected
The website has a "Stay in Touch" section and a "What's Happening at St. Anne's" news area listing upcoming events, such as Evensong services and speaker series. These are useful if you want to get involved beyond Sunday worship.
