Where Do I Go on Sunday Morning? When Should I Arrive?

Follow the signs for "Sanctuary". Our friendly greeters are your first point of contact--let them know it's your first time, and they will gladly help you. 

It's a good idea to arrive about 10-15 minutes before the start time of the service. A music prelude is given approximately five minutes before the service as a way to help parishioners prepare themselves for worship.
