A Message To Newcomers
Grace Lutheran Church is a member of the
Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA)
Grace Lutheran Church is a come-as-you-are church, with a casual atmosphere and a
message that makes sense for everyday life. Perhaps you are new to our community,church, or even new
to “worship services” in general. Perhaps you haven’t attended for awhile. In any case, in a new
church, most of us find ourselves, at some time or another, saying: “Help! What do I do next?”
Hopefully, this guide will help you to relax and feel comfortable. We also hope that you will find
worshiping here a meaningful experience. We look forward to meeting you!
Worship Service
Worship Services takes place every Sunday at 10AM. Come a few minutes early to greet one another, and choose a seat in the pews. The church is wired with cameras for a livestream service. Communion can be taken in the pews, if you are camera shy. Communion packets are available just inside the sanctuary doors for self-serve, or if you need to be served in the pew, just let the usher know and the pastor will come to you.
Children
Children are welcome to participate in our worship services, and enjoy a Children’s message. A cry room is available with a window to view the service. There is a nursery available in the fellowship hall and we provide childcare.
Sunday School is held during the sermon, then the kids come back in time for Holy Communion. Children’s Sunday School is available during the school year.
Communion Every Sunday
All are welcome at our table.
Communion is served around the altar. It is served individually, with separate small glasses and wafers, distributed to each person. If you need to be served in the pew, just let the usher know and the pastor will come to you. Children are encouraged to participate at their sponsor's discretion. Remember: All are welcome to the table here.
