What to Expect It can be intimidating to walk into a church for the first time. ​ That's why when you visit St. Jude's Episcopal church, you will be our respected and welcome guest. You will not be singled out in an embarrassing way, nor asked to stand before the congregation, nor to come forward. You will worship God with us, as one of us. ​ You may have seen the signs in towns across America that say, "The Episcopal Church Welcomes You." Well, we mean it! Whether you are here visiting with friends or family, are new to the area and looking for a church, or simply seek life's deeper meaning, you are welcome at St. Jude's Episcopal Church. We get it. What happens during a service? The framework of all our services is liturgy. This means each service follows a set format, laid down in the Book of Common Prayer. We will also use the Bible and two music books: the Hymnal 1982, and Renew. The good news is that our service bulletin lists out all the prayers, responses, and scriptures during the service. Any hymns that are sung during worship are numbered so you can easily find them in the hymnal. ​ Your service bulletin will guide you to which book we will be using at which time, should you choose to use them, and you should find copies of all these books in the back of the pew in front of you or under your seat. If you can't find one, ask one of our friendly ushers. Our liturgy may be new to you, and we do a lot of standing, kneeling, and sitting. Please feel free to participate as much or little as you like, and don't feel like you have to kneel or stand, especially if you have health concerns. You will not be judged for how much you do or do not participate. However, we hope you will appreciate the active and participatory nature of worship in The Episcopal Church. As you become more comfortable with the service, we hope you will find reassurance and peace in knowing what to expect each week. ​ View an instructed Eucharist service here. ​ We invite all baptized Christians to come forward and partake of the Eucharist. If you would like to partake but have mobility concerns or require a gluten-free wafer, please let an usher know. Come as you are. Although our worship style is traditional, we aren't stuffy. It's Florida, after all! You will see folks wearing suits and folks in shorts and flip flops... and we lean towards the latter. ​ If you arrive a little early, ask an usher to direct you to our Parish Hall so we can offer you hot coffee and fresh donuts. We'd love to meet you. ​ Bringing the kids? As you arrive, one of our friendly ushers will be happy to walk you back to our Sunday School and nursery area. Nursery is open for both services and Sunday School is held during the 10:30 a.m. service. Find out more about our kids' programs.

~ Children and Youth News from April 2023 Newsletter ~ Thank you to all who donated items for the Lent giving tree! We collected enough items to donate to Sharing and Caring, and to the Pavilion. They were very appreciative! Thanks to Jennifer Willey and Dorothy Briley for organizing this successful Lenten event. Reminders: The youth group room will be open from 10 to 10:25am on Sundays for the middle and high school kids only. This will be Jr. and Sr. EYC (Episcopal Youth Community) fellowship time. We request a different teen/parent to volunteer each week, to be in charge of bringing a snack, and a parent to stay to observe. Parents, please sign up for a Sunday on the list to be posted on the door of the youth group room. Sunday, April 16, 2-4:00PM: Off to St. Simon’s to resume our project with the Creative Community Coastal Life Sculpture Program. Joining the children and youth from St. Simon’s on the Sound Episcopal Church, we’ll be painting the animal models we worked on at the beginning of the month. All 3rd through 12th graders are invited to join in the fun; snacks will be provided! Sunday, April 23 and April 30: Following the 10:30 service, Jr and Sr EYC will meet in the youth group room from 11:30 – 1:00PM. Bring your book, “My Faith, My Life, A Teen’s Guide to the Episcopal Church”. Lunch will be provided. Pam Smith invites our children and young people to participate in three, 30-minute rehearsals and two performances through May. These choir rehearsals will be on Sundays, March 12, April 23, and May 14 from 9:30 - 10:00 in the choir room. They will sing the offertory during the 10:30 services on April 9 and May 14. As always, children and young people are invited to share their musical talent with us during service preludes, postludes, and/or offertories.
