Marking Times and Seasons

The Episcopal Church follows the liturgical calendar, which overlays the calendar year with remembrances of significant events and seasons in Jesus' life and in the life of the church.  This is intended to create opportunities to experience kairos time, or "God time," breaking into the mundanity and predictability of chronos time, or "clock time." 

With attention to both the liturgical calendar and the flow of modern life, we offer special programs and events throughout the year that seek to make space for these holy moments to happen in the lives of our children and families.

Below are some annual highlights, along with links to more information about some of our favorite events!
