WHAT TO EXPECT

Our worship services offer a means to experience God’s message of grace, love, hope and forgiveness for all people through faith in Jesus Christ.

When you come into our sanctuary, you can be expected to be greeted by an usher and receive a printed bulletin containing information on the worship service and church activities. Coloring pages and crayons are available for children. Casual clothing is appropriate at our worship services. The words to songs and hymns are projected on a screen to make it easier to participate. Our combination of pews and movable chairs means there is comfortable seating in our sanctuary for everyone, including people in wheelchairs.

Our 9:30 am Sunday worship service is lively and contemporary in style. The service is relaxed and casual, with an emphasis on contemporary music and worship songs.  Our worship team uses guitars, keyboard and drums. Sunday School students are invited to attend the first part of this service, then are dismissed to attend their class.

Our 11:00 am Sunday worship service is traditional in style, using the hymns and liturgical settings found in the Evangelical Lutheran Worship hymnal and other resources. Our pipe organ and grand piano are the primary instruments for this service.

Please note: During the summer, from the first Sunday of July through the second Sunday of September, our Sunday schedule changes to one combined worship service at 9:30 am.

HOLY COMMUNION

Holy Communion is celebrated at our Sunday worship services on the first and third Sundays of the month, plus festival Sundays (such as Easter and Pentecost). All baptized Christians who believe in the real presence of Christ’s body and blood are invited to receive communion. Children who have not yet received communion instruction are invited to receive a blessing. If you would like your children to learn about communion and prepare to receive this sacrament, please contact Pastor Kent.
