Holy Eucharist Sundays at 12:00 Noon. All Are Welcome!
We gather every Sunday at 12:00 Noon for services in our beautiful church located at 70 N 200 W. Fr. Rob Willmann celebrates Holy Eucharist on the first and third and fourth Sunday of each month and each Fifth Sunday as they occur. Fr. Lee Montgomery serves as celebrant on the second Sunday.To the people of St. Jude's the "Everyone Welcome" message on our sign is more than just a slogan. We practice Christ's radical hospitality and whether you are a "cradle" Episcopalian or just someone passing through town looking for a place to worship, you are welcome at the Lord's Table at St. Jude's.
Join Us for Evening Prayer Every Wednesday at 7:00 p.m.
Evening Prayer, also called Vespers, is part of the Daily Office in the Episcopal Church. It is designed to close the day with reflection, confession, thanksgiving, and intercession. The service typically includes:
- Opening Sentences: “O God, make speed to save us. O Lord, make haste to help us.”
- Confession of Sins: A time of silent reflection and corporate confession, acknowledging sins against God and neighbor.
- The Invitatory and Psalms: Psalms appointed for the day, often including Psalm 141:2, Psalm 96:9, and Psalm 16:7-8, sung or read responsively.
- Scripture Readings (Lessons): One or more readings from the Old Testament, New Testament, and Gospel, followed by a canticle such as the Magnificat (Song of Mary) or Nunc Dimittis (Song of Simeon).
- The Apostles’ Creed: Affirmation of faith.
- Prayers and Intercessions: Including the Lord’s Prayer, collects for the day, and free intercessions for the world, the Church, and personal needs.
- Closing Blessing: In the Episcopal tradition, Evening Prayer concludes with a blessing that affirms God’s mercy, peace, and the holiness of the hour. The exact wording depends on the rite (Rite I or Rite II) and the season, but the core blessing is a call to live in God’s grace and to offer praise. The service often ends with the Blessing of Light or a similar benediction
- Typical Closing BlessingThe service often ends with the Blessing of Light or a similar benediction such as: Guide us waking, O Lord, and guard us sleeping; that awake we may watch with Christ, and asleep we may rest in peace.
