What actually happens

The unglamorous particulars.

Six small things, in the order you will meet them. None of them require anything of you.

01

Arrive whenever

The doors open half an hour before. Nobody will ask you to sign anything.

02

Sit in the back

Genuinely. The back rows are the best place to watch a service you don't yet know.

03

About seventy minutes

Morning worship runs a little over an hour. Evensong is closer to forty-five.

04

The plate passes

Let it pass. Giving is for the people who call this parish home, not for guests.

05

Children stay in

There is a staffed nursery, but no one minds the noise. They belong in the room.

06

Coffee in the yard

Afterwards, under the oak. It is the easiest place to meet someone.

Practical matters

Parking

Street parking on Meeting Street is free on Sundays. The lot behind the parish house is signposted and has accessible spaces by the garden gate.

Getting in

Step-free entry through the garden door on the south side, an accessible restroom in the parish house, and a hearing loop throughout the nave. Large-print orders of service are on the table by the door.

Who you are visiting

Come and see.

Psalmly Hill has kept the same hours on the same corner since 1874 — morning prayer, a sung evensong, and a table anyone may come to. We are an ordinary parish: older than most of us, plainer than you might expect, and glad you are reading this.

Where

214 Meeting Street, Charleston, SC 29401

Nothing else needs arranging. Turn up, and sit where you like.

For members and anyone who would rather not wait for the plate. Visitors are not expected to.
