Upcoming Programming
Welcome to the Church of the Heavenly Rest and our 2025-2026 Program Year!
We believe this church is The Place to BE in our great city, at a time of distraction and anxiety, when so many of us seek authenticity, community and transcendence.
BEGIN your journey of faith and your walk with Jesus. We offer baptism to people of all ages, with programs of introduction and orientation to Christianity, the Episcopal Church, and this particular parish. BELONG to an intergenerational community of humble, joyful, faithful people who desire deeper relationship with God, one another, and our city. BECOMING a member is a simple yet significant process and your clergy will help you understand what’s required to say “I’m in”! BEHOLD the beauty of holiness in worship, music, art, nature, and one another. BE LOVED as a cherished child of God and valued member of God’s communion. BELIEVE in the mystery of God: present, transcendent, loving, reconciling, transforming, and healing.
Wherever you are on your walk of faith, you are somewhere. And Heavenly Rest is the place to BECOME who God already knows you to BE.
Our fall newsletter is live! It’s filled with information about new programming, community outreach, music, children and family ministry. You can check it out here!
Heavenly Wednesdays: Paused on October 1

Sunday 5pm: Candlelight Service for Healing and Contemplation
This Sunday, September 28th at 5pm, our Vespers series continues with A Candlelight Service for Healing and Contemplation.
For centuries, Christians have participated in the laying on of hands and anointing with oil with prayers for healing of body, mind and soul.
On Sunday, our clergy will lead us in this ancient tradition as a modern community of faith, lifting to God our own needs and those of others with much needed prayers for wholeness, hope, reconciliation and peace.
Harp and vocal music will be provided by Heavenly Rest choir member Ruth Cunningham, a classically trained musician and certified cross-cultural music healing practitioner (or CCMHP) and founding member of Anonymous 4. Ruth combines these skills to improvise music that connects people to the healing and spiritual power of music. All are invited!
