The Essence of Liturgy

Liturgy, a fundamental aspect of our faith, is celebrated with great devotion at St Benedict of Waterford, located within the First Baptist Church of Okemos. Our liturgical services provide a profound spiritual experience, reflecting our commitment to nurturing the faith and beliefs of our community. Through this sacred practice, we embrace the divine presence and seek spiritual growth.

Worship Services & Rituals

At St Benedict of Waterford, we offer a variety of worship services and rituals that cater to the diverse needs and preferences of our congregation. Our foundational liturgical practices include:

1. Holy Eucharist

Experience the transformative power of the Holy Eucharist, also known as the Holy Communion or the Lord's Supper. This sacrament is central to our worship and symbolizes the body and blood of Jesus Christ, signifying our intimate connection with Him.

2. Liturgical Music

Immerse yourself in the heavenly melodies and harmonies of our liturgical music. Our gifted choir and talented musicians enrich our worship services, creating an atmosphere that allows your soul to soar in devotion and praise.

3. Sacraments and Ordinances

Embrace the significance of the sacraments and ordinances, such as baptism and marriage, which hold deep spiritual meaning within our liturgical tradition. These acts symbolize devotion, commitment, and the sacred bond between God and His people.

The Beauty of Liturgical Seasons

Within the liturgical calendar, we celebrate various seasons that guide us through the significant events of Jesus' life and the early Christian church. Each liturgical season offers a unique focus and spiritual reflection:

1. Advent

Prepare your heart and soul during the season of Advent as we anticipate the coming of the Christ child. Through scripture readings, prayers, and spiritual contemplation, we embrace hope, peace, joy, and love as we await His birth.

2. Lent

Experience a period of reflection and spiritual renewal during Lent. Through prayer, fasting, and acts of repentance, we journey alongside Jesus, remembering His ultimate sacrifice on the cross and His resurrection.

3. Christmas and Easter

Celebrate the extraordinary events of Jesus' birth and resurrection during the seasons of Christmas and Easter, respectively. Experience the joy and wonder of His miraculous arrival in Bethlehem and the triumph of His resurrection, which brings eternal hope to all.

Fellowship & Community

At St Benedict of Waterford, we believe in the power of community and fellowship. Engaging in liturgical practices allows us to strengthen our relationships with one another and deepen our connection with God. Our liturgy acts as a unifying force among our congregation, reminding us that we are part of a larger family united in faith and love.
