In-Person Worship

Please join us as we return to in-person worship. We are gathering for in-person services on Sundays at 9:00 am and 5:00 pm in the church (Rite II traditional) and 11:00 am in the Hall Life Center (The Table) and Wednesdays at noon in the church (Rite I traditional). The Sunday services will require reservations. Please note a few updated procedures:

  • Attendance will be limited to allow for appropriate social distancing.
  • For the services requiring reservations, please reserve ONE (1) ticket for your family group. Limited seating is available for families of up to six (6) people. Larger families will need to reserve more than one ticket.
  • Social distancing will be enforced, but family groups will be seated together.
  • Everyone older than 2 years old must wear masks or other cloth face coverings. Please bring your own.
  • If you are in a higher-risk group, please consider continuing to join us virtually.
  • There will be no congregational singing at this time.

Is it ok if the name on my ticket or registration doesn't match the person who attends? Please update the name on your ticket to match the person/people attending by clicking the "view and manage your order online" link in your confirmation email.

Why do I need to provide so much information to reserve a spot in church? We are requiring reservations with specific attendee names for all in-person worship services as we are required by the Diocese of Texas to inform all attendees if we are notified within 14 days that someone in the service has been diagnosed with COVID-19. Additionally, we are restricted to having no more than 175 individuals in any service. With the six-foot social distancing requirement, it is likely that we can accommodate a maximum of 150 people in either the Church or the Hall Life Center.
