Worship
Harcourt Parish uses the Episcopal Book of Common Prayer (BCP) for our worship services. Most of the hymns sung by the congregation come from the blue Hymnal 1982. Our choir sings a wide variety of music, chosen to enhance the theme of the particular day and season.
All are welcome to worship at Harcourt Parish. Each Sunday we come together to share the Eucharist. Anyone who has been baptized is welcome to partake of the bread and wine. If you have not been baptized, or do not want the bread and/or wine, we encourage you to come forward for a blessing during this time.
Sundays at 10:30 a.m. : Holy Eucharist with music.
Sundays at 10:00 p.m. : Compline (when school is in session).
Wednesdays at 5:00 p.m. : Brief Holy Eucharist without music.
Fridays at 9:30 a.m. : Intercessory Prayer
Christian Education
Birth through Kindergarten: Children's Chapel is offered in the Bedell room in the basement at 10:30 for young children and their parents. A nursery is also available.
First Grade Through Sixth Grade: Sunday School is offered for children in 1st-6th Grades during the school year. Children meet in the lower-level Sunday School room at 10:30 a.m. for education and then join their parents at the Peace so that the family can come forward for communion together.
Fourth-Fifth-Sixth Book Club: Our new Book Club for 4th, 5th, and 6th Grades will read and discuss one book per month, and do an activity related to the book.
Seventh Through Twelfth: Youth group meets one Sunday per month to visit other congregations, once a month after school for Food, Fun, and Fellowship and occasionally for special events. Our youth also take part as lay ministers in our Sunday services and help teach Sunday School.
Adults: Traditionally, members of Harcourt Parish have gathered for adult education on Wednesday nights in Advent and Lent. We have Eucharist at 5:00 p.m. in the chapel, and then dinner and education at the parish house from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Adults interested in an in-depth study of the Bible and theology may join our Education for Ministry (EfM) class each fall.

Harcourt Parish members and friends enjoy community on Sunday mornings as well as throughout the week. There are events that happen occasionally throughout the year as well as events that happen seasonally. Here are a sampling of events. For more information, contact the church office.
Movie Nights: Parishioners and friends gather every few months over dinner and a movie at the Parish House. Movies have a spiritual theme or twist to them, and are intended to evoke lively discussion. There is a cost for this event, and funds raised are sent to Habitat for Humanity.

Epiphany Party: In the depths of winter, Harcourt Parish members gather to celebrate The Light coming into the world. Some years include door-to-door house blessings, others involve gathering at a home for dinner or dessert. Every year involves home made King Cakes!
