WORSHIP & MUSIC

 

SUNDAYS

Lutheran Liturgy, 8:00 and 11:00 a.m.
This service follows the structure of the traditional Lutheran liturgy. The congregation sings hymns and is supported by organ or piano and the chancel choir. Holy Communion is celebrated every week.

Cross Walk Contemporary Worship logo Cross Walk, 2nd & 5th Sundays, 11:00 a.m. This hour of contemporary worship is more informal than our traditional service. The Rite of Healing from Evangelical Lutheran Worship will be offered at this service, with laying-on of hands and anointing for all wishing to receive prayers for healing in body, mind or spirit.

Professional Childcare
Dawn Markovic, is available at all Sunday Services for infants and little ones. Our Cribbery now has a wireless paging system. Each parent who entrusts a child to our Cribbery staff on Sunday morning will be given a pager. If a situation should arise that requires the parents' attention, such as illness or injury, the Cribbery Director can silently page them, whether they are in the sanctuary or Celebration Hall. A clear guideline for what constitutes a "page-able" incident is available in the Cribbery.
