Visitors Information

On Sunday mornings, you may park in the Williamson County Archive lot, directly across the street from the church. Parking is also available on the street.

St. Paul’s owns a building at 506 Fair Street (which parallels Main Street) and a parking lot is behind that building. If you drive past the church on West Main Street and turn right on 6th Avenue, you will dead end into Fair Street and the 506 Fair Street building.

During the week, ample parking is on the street.

As you enter the church, worship bulletins will be available. (Ushers will hand one to you.) This bulletin contains directions for what to do during the service. Both books are available in the pews. Large Print bulletins available as well as hearing assistance devices. Ask the usher for these items. If you aren’t sure what to do, don’t hesitate to ask someone nearby.

The ushers will help you find your seat.

Our services draw from the Book of Common Prayer and include Scripture readings, a sermon, prayers, and the celebration of Holy Communion.

You’ll find the full order of service in your bulletin, which will guide you through the responses, music, and movements of the liturgy.

Please participate as you feel comfortable. Your presence is a blessing, and we’re honored to worship with you.

Children are welcome at all Sunday Services. At the 8:45 and 11:00 am services (10:00 am service in the summer), we offer Children’s Chapel for children around ages 4-11. Children follow the wooden children’s cross through the door to the right of the altar during the Gospel Hymn and return at the Peace. The age range is flexible, and is up to the family’s discretion.

Coloring pages and crayons that are appropriate for children are always available from one of the ushers. Please take these items with you when you leave.

A nursery for infants and young children is available. An usher can direct parents to the nursery.

Here at St. Paul’s, Holy Communion is open to all who seek Christ, including all children. If you wish to receive communion, an usher will direct you to the altar rail. You may stand or kneel.

Hold your hands open and a priest will put the wafer into your hands. After receiving a wafer, a chalice bearer will offer you wine. You may drink from the cup or receive the wine through intinction by dipping the wafer in the cup.

If you need to receive a Gluten Free host, please extend your hands, crossed, palms down at the communion rail and you will receive a gluten free host.

If you are unable to come to the altar rail, please indicate this to an usher and a priest will bring Communion to you.

If you, or your child(ren), would like to receive a blessing from a priest at the altar rail, come forward just as you would to receive Communion and cross your arms across your chest, and/or instruct your child(ren) to do the same.

Children are welcome at the Lord’s Table at their parents’ discretion. If you would like your child to learn more about the sacrament, a Children’s Communion Preparation Class is offered twice a year, in the spring and in the fall.

If you, or your child(ren), would like to receive a blessing from a priest at the altar rail, come forward just as you would to receive Communion and cross your arms across your chest, and/or instruct your child(ren) to do the same.

We are happy to welcome you to St. Paul’s Episcopal Church!

We encourage you to ask questions and seek information. Please fill out a welcome card – which is found in the back of the pew and place it in the offering plate or hand it to an usher or clergy so that we can learn more about you.

We also invite and encourage you to introduce yourself to our clergy and staff.
