St Bede's Episcopal Church

Welcome to St Bede’s

We value spiritual formation for all ages!

We at St. Bede’s are a group of people rooted and growing in what we have been and what we might yet be. We value honesty in our search and appreciate others with inquiring attitudes. We are not cynical, we are hopeful. We value relationships and try to support each other and reach out to others. St. Bede’s is filled with wonderful resources that we are very grateful for. We appreciate tradition and the strength of Anglican spirituality yet we are oriented towards how we might build on that to interpret our mission in this time and place. With God’s help we seek to become a community of possibility for Faith, Hope, and Love to live in and through us.

We’d love to meet you! Come join us in worship!

Musical Performances at St. Bede’s

Organ Recital to benefit St. Bede’s Beckerath organ

by students of Angela Kraft Cross

Sunday, June 2, 4:00pm

Nahri Ahn, Nathan Haman, and Amanda Wucher will play favorites by J.S. Bach and other great masters in a benefit recital for the Beckerath organ. Proceeds will go toward restoring the Cromorne rank and installing a new rank of 8′ trumpet pipes in the pedal division—work which will be done in the first half of September, 2013.

You might recognize the names of these organists since Amanda played the prelude on a recent Sunday morning at St. Bede’s and Nahri often serves as a substitute when St. Bede’s organist is away. Ethan has also played here and is now the organist at Christ Church, Los Altos.
