Welcome
Grace and peace to you in our Lord Jesus Christ!
I am delighted to welcome you to our website. You will find here a window into the life and ministries of Saint Alban's. We are a community committed to Jesus Christ and carrying out His mission. For members of the parish I hope that you will find information and resources to support you in your daily life and ministry. For those new to Saint Alban's, this is an invitation to connect and join us as a community that bears Christ's name.

Who Are We?
St. Alban's is a community of disciples growing
into the full maturity of ChristOur mission is to be a community worshipping in the Episcopal tradition; devoted to God through prayer, study and action; faithful in welcoming the stranger; and serving the needs of our parish and beyond.
As a Welcoming Church, we fully welcome transgender, gay, lesbian, and bisexual people, including their participation in all areas and at all levels in the life of the congregation.

Sunday worship services are held at 8:00 and 10:30 am. The 10:30 service is streamed live and is also available for later viewing on the St. Albans Arcata YouTube channel (link opens in a new window).

If you do not have a Book of Common Prayer, you can access one online at this link: bcponline.org. Contact the church office by email or phone if you have questions.
Morning Prayer
Morning Prayer is a service of the Daily Office, and one of the anchors of our Episcopal/Anglican tradition. Mondays and Wednesdays, Morning Prayer meets at 8:30 am via Zoom, and on Fridays at 8:30 am, we will meet at the church in-person, with candles, vestments, and chanting – and then coffee in the kitchen, all together! If you would like to join us online, contact Mother Nancy at revnancysstreufert@gmail.com for the Zoom invitation. To participate fully in the service, you will need a Book of Common Prayer, a 1982 Hymnal, and a Bible (NRSV) to share in the readings. All are welcome!
Compline
Please join us Monday, Wednesday and Friday evenings at 8 p.m. for Compline via Zoom. In this short service (15 minutes) from the Prayer Book, we offer thanks for the day that is past and ask God for restful sleep. Contact Deacon Cindy by email at cmwoods1730@gmail.com if you wish to join us.
