What Does Worship Look Like?
All are welcome to worship as you are wherever you are on your journey of faith.
Children and families who desire a less formal seating area are invited to use the tables and activities near the front of the sanctuary in the overflow area. There is an un-staffed nursery available located across the hall from overflow area.
Worship Service
Central to our worship life is the presence of God through word and sacrament. The word proclaimed and the sacraments—both Holy Baptism and Holy Communion—are called the means of grace. We believe that Jesus Christ is present in these means through the power of the Holy Spirit. Sometimes we describe worship as a “gathering around the means of grace.”
There is also a basic pattern for worship among Lutherans. We gather. We encounter God’s word. We share a meal at the Lord’s table. And we are sent into the world.
But we do not think about worship so much in terms of what we do. Worship is fundamentally about what God is doing and our response to God’s action. Worship is an encounter with God, who saves us through the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
