This is what you can expect on a Sunday at Two Saints

• The first part of the service is the gathering.  People will enter the church and pray after they have settled in their seats.
• The service begins with some kind of procession led by a cross and the ministers.  Sometimes there will be a gospel book-bearer, maybe acolytes with candles.
• The service begins with a dialogue between the priest and the people - "Blessed be God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit."
• Sometimes the Kyrie (Lord have mercy) will be said.  At other times the Glory to God in the Highest (Gloria in Excelcis Deo) will be said or sung.
• We hear the Word of God from the lectionary that include Old Testament, Psalm, New Testament, and the Gospel. 
• Yes there is a sermon - not too long and not too short, but just right.
• We say the Nicene Creed after the sermon that summarizes our Christian faith.
• We pray for the World and the Church in the Prayers of the People
• We pray for forgiveness of our sins and the priest will say a prayer about God forgiving our sins.
• We share an exchange of the Peace of Christ.
• Announcements about special events, or news important to the life of the parish is shared.
• The altar is set for Holy Communion also known as the Lord's Supper.  We also call this the Eucharist which means "thanksgiving."
• The bread is broken, and distributed with wine to the congregation.  We pray afterwards thanking God for what we have received.
• The priest offers a final blessing, and a final hymn is sung.  We are dismissed with a reminder to go in peace to love and serve the Lord.  The people respond with thanks to God.
