WORSHIP

 

Weekly Worship Opportunities

 

Sunday Morning Prayer – 8:00 a.m.

During the summer months, our 8:00 a.m. Sunday service gathers in the Memorial Chapel for Morning Prayer, with a study of St. Paul’s Epistle to the Galatians. Together we reflect on the freedom that is ours through Christ, as Scripture proclaims:

“For freedom Christ has set us free.” (Galatians 5:1)

As our nation commemorates the 250th anniversary of America’s founding, this service also provides an opportunity to consider the greater freedom we have received through Jesus Christ. We invite you to “come and see” as we pray, study God’s Word, and worship together.

Sunday Morning Worship – 10:00 a.m.

Our principal Sunday worship service is held at 10:00 a.m. in our historic Sanctuary. Centered on the weekly appointed Scripture readings, each service proclaims the life, death, and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ through Word and Sacrament. Worship is offered with reverence, dignity, and beauty in the rich tradition of the Lutheran Church.

A Children’s Message is offered during the service for children through third grade, presenting the Gospel in an age-appropriate way. Holy Communion is celebrated on the first and third Sundays of each month.

Wednesday Evening Prayer – 6:00 p.m.

On Wednesday evenings, we gather in the Memorial Chapel for Evening Suffrages, a brief service of prayer and Scripture. Following worship, we enjoy fellowship and discussion while viewing episodes of The Chosen, reflecting together on the life and ministry of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Daily Prayer & Seasonal Worship

Daily Prayer

Members and friends are encouraged to maintain a daily rhythm of prayer each morning and evening. A yearly Bible reading plan, included in each Sunday bulletin, provides a simple way to read through the entire Bible by following a daily schedule of readings from both the Old and New Testaments.

Each week’s bulletin also includes a prayer list for the needs and concerns of our congregation, friends, and community, along with a calendar commemorating faithful Christians throughout the Church Year. Devotional resources, including Christ in Our Home, and other materials are available to encourage personal and family devotion.

Advent

Advent marks the beginning of the Christian Church Year and includes the four Sundays leading up to Christmas. During this holy season, the Church prepares to celebrate the coming of Christ in Bethlehem while also looking forward with hope to His promised return on the Last Day.

Evening Prayer is observed each Wednesday during Advent, providing time for worship, reflection, and preparation as we await the coming of our Savior.

Lent

Lent begins on Ash Wednesday and is a season of repentance, reflection, and preparation leading to the celebration of our Lord’s resurrection at Easter. Through prayer, fasting, acts of mercy, and meditation on God’s Word, we remember Christ’s temptation, suffering, death, and saving work for us.

Evening Prayer is observed each Wednesday during the Lenten season, offering opportunities for renewal, repentance, and spiritual growth as we journey together toward the cross and the empty tomb.
