Service Times & Directions

At Christ Church we offer four worship services on Sunday.      

  • Our 7:45 a.m. Rite One Eucharist service is primarily spoken, with organ music during communion followed by a closing hymn.
  • The 9:00 a.m. Rite Two Eucharist family worship offers blended musical styles.
  • At 11:00 a.m., Rite One Eucharist (first/third Sundays) alternates with Morning Prayer (second Sundays, fourth Sundays followed by Eucharist at St. Anne’s Chapel); the Adult Choir, accompanied by the organ, leads traditional hymns and anthems.
  • A 5:00 p.m. Rite One Eucharist includes contemporary arrangements of traditional hymns. The service is followed by a dinner. 
In addition to the Sunday services, we also offer:
  • Evening Prayer every Wednesday, 5:30-6pm
  • Healing Service (first Wednesday of every month) at 10am

The church is located at 120 W. High Street (across from McGuffey Park in downtown Charlottesville). Click here for a map and directions and here for some places for parking.

 

 

  • "Of the Father's Love Begotten"

    He is found in human fashion, Death and sorrow here to know, That the race of Adam's children Doomed by law to endless woe, May not henceforth die and perish In the dreadful gulf below, Evermore and evermore! O that birth forever blessed, When the Virgin, full of grace, By the Holy Ghost conceiving, Bare the Savior of our race; And the Babe, the world's Redeemer, First revealed His sacred face, Evermore and evermore!

The Word

When the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of any works of righteousness that we had done, but according to his mercy, through the water of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit. This Spirit he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life. (Titus 3:4-7)

The Prayer

O God, you make us glad by the yearly festival of the birth of your only Son Jesus Christ: Grant that we, who joyfully receive him as our Redeemer, may with sure confidence behold him when he comes to be our Judge; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen. (Book of Common Prayer, p. 212)
