Worship
When we worship, our congregation joins together to praise and glorify our Mighty God – Father, Son and Holy Spirit – recognizing that we come before Him in the Name of Jesus Christ our Savior. In worship our loving God comes to us and blesses us with the free gifts of the Word and the Sacraments of Baptism and the Lord’s Supper. Both in the traditional and contemporary worship services we follow the church’s ancient and historic practice of following a liturgy –
inviting God to join us, a time of confessing our sins, the announcement of God’s forgiveness, scripture readings, prayers, confessing our faith, receiving Christ’s Body and Blood in bread and wine, and finally a blessing before we leave. Whether you’re Lutheran or not, you are invited to join us for worship.
- Sunday 9:00 AM Service
- Communion with be offered on the 1st and 3rd Sundays.
THE DIVINE WORSHIP
This time of worship features the traditional Lutheran liturgies with psalms, readings, sermon, prayers and hymns led by the organ.
COMMUNION
If you are able to say “YES!” to each one of these statements, you are welcome to commune with us. Self-examination prepares us for receiving Holy Communion.
