8 am (Church) Holy Eucharist

Our earliest service on Sundays, the 8 am service offers a quiet, traditional service with a sermon and no music. The order of service follows the traditional Rite I language of the Episcopal Book of Common Prayer.   

9 am (Chapel) Holy Eucharist

Join us for an intimate celebration of holy communion, held in the round, that emphasizes congregational singing and fresh, new ways of talking about God and the life of faith. St. Bart's Singers offer musical leadership. Download the leaflet here.

10 am Activity Hour for Children and Youth

Kids' Club for children in grades K-5 meets Community House Children's Playroom (109 E. 50th Street Basement Level). Through arts, crafts, movement, and games, we bring the stories of Jesus to life, and make church fun. During this time, Youth at the Center for grades 6-12 meets in Room 32.

Nursery Care is available from 9:45 am until 12:45 pm in the Community House Children's Playroom (109 E. 50th St. Basement Level).

10 am (Great Hall) The Forum

The Forum Series for Lent

Transition is a familiar theme for people of faith. As St. Bart’s embarks on a leadership transition, speakers from our community explore the ways in which transition can stimulate self-reflection, improve one’s relationship with God, and foster growth.

Retirement: Transition and Purpose

Bob Kiely, Ray Vandenberg, and the Reverend Meredith Ward, co-leaders of the St. Bart’s retirement group, discuss retirement as a major life transition.


11 am (Church) Choral Eucharist

  • Download our worship leaflet to follow along (available on Friday). Printed copies are available at the service, or, as an eco-friendly option, a QR code of the worship leaflet is accessible at the entrance to the Church.
  • The fourth Sunday in Lent is often a day that breaks the penitential pattern of these forty days of preparation and includes some celebration and rejoicing. In that spirit, St. Bartholomew's Choir and chamber orchestra will offer Mozart’s Missa Brevis in F, K. 192, as well as the “Laudate Pueri” movement from his Solemn Vespers. The Mass is a tuneful and uplifting work composed when the 18-year-old Mozart was employed as a church musician by the ruler of Salzburg, Prince-Archbishop Hieronymous Colloredo.
  • During the 11 am service, just before the sermon, all children are invited to join Kids' Church in the chapel, which includes an age-appropriate time of prayer, music, and a lesson. While designed especially with children in grades K-5 in mind, all are welcome, including parents and older or younger siblings. Children return to the church and are reunited with their families before the end of the service (around 11:45 am).
  • The 11 am service will also be livestreamed. Additional info here.
