Welcome to our Community!
All
Saints Episcopal Church is a warm, friendly Christian community serving
Duncan, Oklahoma and surrounding communities.
We would
love to have you worship with us and be part of our community!
In the
spirit of Jesus Christ, All Saints Episcopal Church extends a warm welcome to
all persons regardless of age, race, ethnicity, economic or marital status,
gender, or sexual orientation.
What should I expect?
Expect
to be warmly greeted by members of the parish and offered a service bulletin
for the day's worship. The bulletin refers to the exact page numbers in the
Book of Common Prayer found in the pew rows. The first part of the service
includes hymns, announcements, prayers, Scripture readings, a sermon, a
financial offering, and the sign of peace. The second part of our worship is
the Holy Communion, in which we receive blessed Bread and Wine as the Real
Spiritual Presence of Christ. All are welcome to come forward to receive the
elements or a prayer of blessing. The Book of Common Prayer and the bulletin
serve as guides for the service. Any children who begin in the nursery and
wish to join the congregation are welcomed during the peace and announcements
portion so that they may receive a prayer of blessing during the Communion.
To learn about the details of the service and about why we do what we do,
consider taking the Inquirer's Class.
What should I wear?
All are
welcome at All Saints'. Although, as a whole, the congregation tends to dress
nicely to visit the house of God, you should also feel comfortable in jeans,
and some regular attendees wear jeans or more casual attire. What is
important is that you feel comfortable and know that you are welcome.
