Visitors

“It is truly meet, right, and salutary that we should at all times and in all places give thanks to You, holy Lord, almighty Father, everlasting God, through Jesus Christ, our Lord ...”

We welcome all visitors to worship with us.

We practice the historic liturgy of the Divine Service. In this way, we connect with the church established by Jesus Chirst over two thousand years ago. The order of service and hymns are printed in your bulletin. If you have never before attended a Lutheran Divine Service, you are in for a treat!

We celebrate Holy Communion the first and third Sunday of each month, and also on fifth Sundays. We teach that in the receiving of the Lord's Supper each person receives the true Body and Blood of Christ for the forgiveness of their sins. If you are not a member of a Lutheran Church Missouri Synod parish and desire to partake of Holy Communion, please ask to speak with the pastor or one of the elders before service. All are welcome to come forward to receive a blessing during communion.

Children are most welcome in the service. Even if they're noisy. We are blessed to have many young children in the parish, and have some activity bags available to help keep them occupied.

Please take a moment to fill out the record of fellowship even if you're a visitor, leaving us as much information as you're comfortable with. Please include your children, as this will help us keep accurate records.

We use the ESV translation of the Bible in our services. At present, we follow the three year lectionary. We recommend the Lutheran Study Bible produced by Concordia Publishing House.

Please dress comfortably, but modestly for service. Some members wear suits, others wear shorts, but please remember that we're here to worship God.
