Worship
At Christ Memorial Episcopal Church, we offer two distinct Rite II worship experiences to meet the diverse needs of our community.
All are invited to participate in Holy Communion by receiving either a blessing or the sacrament of bread and wine, regardless of age.
Whether you are seeking a contemplative or vibrant worship experience, we invite you to join us in worship and experience the transformative power of God's love through the Rite II liturgy.
You can also join us online!
8:00 AM
Spoken Eucharist
This service is a contemplative haven for early risers. Utilizing the contemporary language of Rite II, this service invites you to pause, reflect, and connect with God amidst the busyness of life. Through scripture readings, prayers, and the sharing of the Eucharist, we seek a deeper understanding of God's presence in our lives.
10:30 AM
Choral Eucharist
This service also embraces the Rite II liturgy but offers a more vibrant and engaging style. Incorporating scripture, prayers, hymns, and a sermon, this service is known for its joyful and meaningful atmosphere. The heart of this service is the Great Thanksgiving, where we remember Christ's sacrifice and share in the consecrated bread and wine.
Our services are live-streamed on

Meet our Clergy and Staff
Led by our dedicated Rector, The Rev. Lisa Work, our staff is committed to fostering a welcoming and inclusive community where individuals can deepen their faith and find spiritual growth. Together, we strive to create a supportive environment that nurtures spiritual exploration and personal connection.
The Rev. Lisa Work joined Christ Memorial Episcopal Church as rector in June 2024, bringing with her a passion for loving God and loving our neighbors. With a background in education and community service, she is committed to celebrating the unique fabric of our community and the experiences that connect us. Rev. Work envisions Christ Memorial as a welcoming space to reflect on what it means to love God and love our neighbors - the two greatest commandments as taught by Jesus. She and her husband, Mark, are excited to be part of the Danville community and explore the region's natural beauty.
