Collect
Almighty and everlasting God, you have given to us your servants grace, by the confession of a true faith, to acknowledge the glory of the eternal Trinity, and in the power of your divine Majesty to worship the Unity: Keep us steadfast in this faith and worship, and bring us at last to see you in your one and eternal glory, O Father; who with the Son and the Holy Spirit live and reign, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Ways to Worship
Whether you live in Anchorage, elsewhere in Alaska, or in another state or country, we warmly invite you to join us each Sunday on Zoom, Facebook Live, or Twitch, or in the sanctuary on our church campus at Tudor and Lake Otis.
A few important notes:
- Masking is now optional. Masks are available in the narthex as you enter the main church building; please remember especially to mask or attend church online if you have a cough or other symptoms. When it comes to germs, not sharing is caring!
- Children are always welcome in our services - their voices, energy, and joy remind us that we, too, are children of God. For those who wish, we offer childcare in the remodeled Young Disciples Room (in Waldron Hall, to the right as you enter the church) during the 10 am Sunday service and during Christian Formation Hour (11:30-12:30). We also have a "Wiggle Room", from which the service can be seen and heard, available for those with small children who could use a more relaxed space.
- We are not limiting on-campus gathering capacity or requiring that parishioners sign in for contact tracing, so please choose the attendance option that is safest and best for you and your loved ones.
- Those attending services via Zoom who have their cameras on will be visible to the on-campus congregation; on-campus or online, you are a full participant and full member of our congregation, and your presence is important.
- There are cameras and a monitor screen at the rear of the sanctuary, above the prayer votives; those attending on campus may turn around to greet those attending via Zoom at the Passing of the Peace. Seats on the far right of the sanctuary (near the southeast windows) are not visible to these cameras.
As we enter the fourth year of this pandemic, we may continue to feel a range of emotions, from hope and promise to concern and uncertainty and discomfort. This is all normal. Give yourselves grace, and come as you are.
