Services at Heavenly Rest

Throughout each week, the Episcopal Church of the Heavenly Rest offers many opportunities for worship.  Our two Sunday morning services in the nave with Holy Eucharist are complemented by our Sunday school classes for adults and youth. Every weekday morning, we start the day in the chapel with morning prayer and on Wednesday evenings we meet for our healing service with Holy Eucharist.  Join us throughout the week for these services and review our church calendar for a more complete listing of parish life.
