If you are
visiting us for worship, here is what you can expect!
Parking and
Accommodation!
We
have plenty of parking, with special parking for senior
citizens and handicap parking near the entrance of the
building. You will enter into a barrier free
worship space.
Greeters!
An
individual, a couple, or a family will give you a warm
welcome as you enter our worship space.
Ushers!
A
friendly person will give you today's bulletin.
This will help you to participate in worship, and it
also has information about upcoming events at church.
The insert with announcements and the calendar for the
upcoming week is called "The Epistle".
Nursery!
We
have nursery space available. We do not staff
the nursery as we welcome and want children in worship
with us (even noisy kids☺).
Feel free to use this space as a cry-room or for a break
for your child. Come and go as you please at any
point during worship. There is a speaker in the nursery
to help you hear the service, and from there you can see
right into the worship space.
Music!
You will
experience a wide variety of hymns, songs, and liturgy played on
both the organ and piano. We need your voice to praise
God! Also, we have two bell-choirs and plenty of special
music offerings from individuals and groups.
Scripture!
Each week
someone reads from the Bible. Usually we have an Old
Testament, Psalm, New Testament Letter, and New Testament Gospel
reading.
Proclamation!
Each week
Pastor Matt or Pastor Rachael will proclaim "Good News" from the
scripture that was read.
Offering!
Each week we
collect tithes, alms, and gifts to be used for the mission and
ministry of this congregation, the wider church of the ELCA, and
our mission partners.
Prayer!
Each week we
pray for the mission and ministry of this congregation, the
world, and all those in need.
Communion!
Each week we
gather around the Lord's table. All baptized Christians
who believe the true presence of Christ are welcome at the
table. Children who are not yet ready for communion come
forward for a blessing.
Sending!
We are "sent
out" into the community to proclaim God's love in word and deed!
