About this church
St. Paul’s Episcopal Church follows a seasonal Sunday schedule at 21 Hackett Boulevard in Albany. From September through May, a quiet 8:00 a.m. chapel Eucharist is followed by a 10:30 choral Eucharist in the church; in summer, the later service moves to 9:30 without choir. The early liturgy lasts about forty-five minutes, the school-year choral service about ninety, and the summer service about an hour. Wednesday Holy Eucharist begins at 12:10 p.m.
Rite II from the 1979 Book of Common Prayer and congregational hymns shape worship, with a bulletin explaining when to stand, sit, kneel, speak, or sing. Baptized Christians may receive Communion; gluten-free wafers are available, while unbaptized guests can come forward for a blessing. School-year childcare serves infants through age eight during the 10:30 service. Coffee and snacks follow the later service—iced drinks in summer—and clothing ranges from shorts and jeans to suits. Drivers enter through the four glass doors by the drop-off circle for the church, or use the left-end sidewalk for the chapel. The later service is livestreamed, providing a useful preview before attending.
