Sundays

Children are always welcome at Holy Innocents and the 9am service is especially designed to welcome them and their families. There are coffee and refreshments for all immediately following the service.

10:00 am—Godly Play/Child Care

Godly Play is offered for children from three to ten years old. Child care for infants and toddlers is provided from 10:00 am to 12:30 pm. We encourage parents from both services to take advantage of this service, either to enjoy conversation with other adults at the 10 o'clock coffee hour or to be able to attend the 11 o'clock service.

11:00 am—Choral Eucharist

Music is an integral part of this service, in which the Schola Cantorum leads the congregation in singing hymns and graces the service with a rich selection of choral anthems. All are invited to join us for coffee hour following the service. Childcare for infants and toddlers is provided during this service.

About Services

All who worship at Holy Innocents are invited to participate in the liturgy in whatever ways they feel called. If you are called to the ministries of being an acolyte or being a part of the Altar party, reading the lessons, reading the Prayers of the People, serving as an usher, or contributing to hospitality we have a Rota which keeps track of who’s doing what each week.

9 AM Rota

11 AM Rota

If you are interested in serving in this way, and have never served before, please email vicar@holyinsf.org.

Holy Innocents’ Church uses the Revised Common Lectionary (RCL) to determine the readings for each Sunday’s service. Each Eucharist has particular readings assigned depending on the liturgical season and the life of the Church. For each services there is a reading from Hebrew Scriptures, a Psalm, a reading from the Epistles, and a reading from the Gospel.

To find what will be read on any given Sunday, visit http://www.io.com/~kellywp/index.html

If you are a lector, you are encouraged to read the passage before the service, and reflect on it. This will help you to participate with the congregation in the Liturgy of the Word, proclaiming the Word of God to your neighbors.
