Worship & Prayer

Worship & Prayer are the ways we connect with God, communally and individually. Every Sunday, we gather to hear God’s Word and receive Holy Communion. Worship is not a spectator event, but always involves and engages everyone present. Nearly everyone participates in sharing leadership roles at various points throughout the year as part of a worship team, reader, music ministries and/or other leadership roles.

Since worship is so participatory, and because it features the seasons and symbols, rites and rhythms that have been used for centuries, worship is especially engaging for children, who are always welcome in worship. Bring them along, and sit toward the front, where they can see and hear (and know that there’s a professionally staffed nursery for infants through 4-year-olds, in the event they need a break).

When we’re not gathered together in worship, we trust that we are still united as we pray for one another daily, and share the stories of our faith. Devotional materials, daily readings, Bible studies, faith conversations, and workshops on deepening spirituality all help us to grow in our comfort in, and reliance on, God’s constant presence.

We offer two different worship services every Sunday morning, to meet individuals’ differing needs.

Traditional Worship at 9:00 a.m. Our first service of the morning has a more traditional feel. It employs elements of our Lutheran liturgy, with roots that go back for centuries. The worship experience is enhanced by special music from our Choir, soloists and special ensembles.
