Liturgy at SCULiturgy is at the heart of this faith community. We bring our lives together in prayer each Sunday and at major University celebrations, receiving strength from the presence of Jesus Christ in the Word, Sacrament, and in the people assembled. We are strengthened and emboldened to bring the presence of Christ to the people and places that make up our lives. Liturgical Ministry is coordinated by various campus ministers and student leaders. Student ministers are assigned on a rotating basis to assist at the weekly liturgies, as well as at special celebrations. Students are invited to serve as Liturgical Ministers of the Word, the Eucharist, Music, and Hospitality. Music Ministry provides wonderful opportunities for vocalists, instrumentalists, accompanists, cantors, dancers and planners.
