We celebrate a full communion liturgy every Sunday, 5pm at St Thomas Episcopal Church on 22nd and Dexter (2201 Dexter just East of City Park)
We follow the ancient liturgy of the church (chanting the Kyrie, readings from scripture, chanting the Psalm, sermon, prayers of the people, Eucharist, benediction etc.) We also sing the old hymns of the church. So there’s lots of ancient tradition at HFASS, but there’s also some innovation. We always include poetry and a time called “Open Space” in which we slow down for prayer and other opportunities to actively engage the Gospel – writing in the community’s Book of Thanks or writing prayers or making art or assembling bleach kits for the needle exchange in Denver.
We like to say that we are “anti-excellence/pro-participation” – meaning that the liturgy is led by the people who show up. The pastor offers the Eucharistic prayer and (most times) the sermon; all the other parts of the liturgy are led by people from where they are sitting. As a matter of fact, even the music is made by the community. With the exception of the 4 or 5 times a year that we have a bluegrass service, the liturgy is a capella. So all the music you hear in liturgy comes from the bodies of those who showed up.
