Instructed Eucharist
An Instructed Eucharist is a special service for Episcopalians, which is narrated in order to teach the meaning of the service.
Many congregations in liturgical churches have expressed a desire for a teaching service which would shed light on the various elements of the service.
The content must highlight the principal actions taking place, and the reasons for them. It should also explain those elements which are most likely to be confusing to the uninitiated, as well as mention those elements which are optional, or which allow for some variation.
This service was conducted at St Barnabas, Chelsea MI, on October 23, 2022.

Welcome to St. Barnabas!!
St. Barnabas, located in Chelsea, Michigan, is an Episcopal Church and part of the Anglican Communion. This means we are both sacramental and mission oriented. We are a Total Ministry, or Ministry of All the Baptized, congregation, where all are encouraged to participate as each is called by God to do. This means some are called to help with worship, music, teaching, pastoral care, hospitality, greeting, ushering, intercession (prayers), altar guild duties or reading in addition to ordained ministry. And that‘s just inside the building!
Please join us Sundays at 10AM
You Are Welcome Here
We see faith as a journey, and we invite you to come with us and be a part of it. God invites everyone everywhere into his world and so do we. We believe that Jesus calls his church to be a compelling force for good in the world and that we have been created to be a part of something larger than ourselves. Come and journey with us!
Worship with Us!
