Worship Services
Our 8:00 a.m. Sunday morning worship is traditional in an abbreviated form. Communion is celebrated
on the 1st, 3rd, and 5th Sundays of the month. Special music is frequently offered. A nursery is provided at
this service.
Sunday morning worship
A full Lutheran traditional worship is offered at our 10:15 Sunday morning worship. A full liturgy, choir,
and choir are celebrated each week. Generally special services (such as our Gospel Sing and Rally Day) and
baptisms are held at this service. This is our highest attendance worship experience. Lectors, acolytes,
communion assistants, and cantors and choir assist in this service.
Our Wednesday evening informal worship is held at 7:00 p.m. each week except during Lent and Advent
(when special services are observed during this period). The roundtable gathering is easygoing and has a
family atmosphere, where it is OK to get up and refill your coffee cup durig the service. The traditional
stuff of worship (including communion) is present, but with a twist towards life in the year 2006.
Christian music DVD's provide songs of praise:some traditional hymns we recognize, while other songs praise
God in the voice of today's musical leaders.
Special Worship
CHURCH BAPTISMS are normally held at Sunday morning services. Contact the pastor if you would like
to have adults or children baptized.
ALTAR FLOWERS are donated each week in memory or honor of loved ones. At Easter lilies adorn the altar
and at Christmas poinsettias are donated on Christmas Eve.
