Here is a little something that can be copied and put into larger form. It is derived from a notice in an English parish circa 1950, so the more things change, the more they stay the same.
On Entering Church
This is church where the Faith once-delivered is taught, and where the Sacraments of the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church are administered according to the Rites and Ceremonies of the Anglican Catholic Church.
The Blessed Sacrament is reserved in this church for the needs of the Faithful. You will see a white light burning in the place of Reservation. There Jesus Christ, God and Man, is sacramentally present, and therefore you will see others reverence and say their prayers before Mass or other services. So we ask that you behave with great reverence here.
On entering the church before services, please use a low voice and converse only as necessary. Many are at prayer before the liturgy, and we ask that all be mindful of undue noise.
Please turn off mobile phones. If your occupation requires that you maintain contact, please silence your mobile device.
During the service, please refrain from conversation. We make every effort to keep our services beautiful and dignified, particularly because of the Presence of Jesus Christ in the Sacrament of the Altar and for benefit of all who join together here in as a community and in the Body of the Church.
If you are a visitor, welcome and blessings! Please sign the register and join us for fellowship after the service. If you have any questions, please contact the Rector at 804-262-6100 or through the church website http://www.stalbansacc.org
