The Essentials of Christianity

We must understand the essential fundamentals of faith in order to live the victorious Christian life.

Sunday services begin at 9:30 a.m. Christ Church International's Sunday morning services focus on corporate praise and worship, communion, prayer, and preaching of the Word.

St. Brigit Vernal Equinox Celebration

St. Brigit Episcopal Church once again will celebrate the return of Spring with a Vernal Equinox Service. The theme of this unique, contemplative service will be God's provision for the outsider. The Vernal Equinox celebration is a part of St. Brigit's A'it Caol series. A'it Caol (pronounced atch qweel) is Gaelic for "A Thin Place." These quarterly services are created to offer an experience of God through a unique liturgy, which combines ancient tradition with contemporary language. They include specially designed meditation areas, reflecting the Scriptural lessons, and sacred music with a Celtic sound.

Older children are welcome at the Vernal Equinox Service. Childcare will be provided for children under age six. Guests are invited to come early to walk St. Brigit's outdoor labyrinth, weather permitting; 7 p.m., Tuesday, March 20, St. Brigit Episcopal Church, 110 Johnson St., Frederick; stbrigit.org.
