Worship and Music Ministry
The Work of the People
Lutheran worship is based on the foundation of liturgy, which means the work of the people. This means that everyone participates in word, song and prayer. Assisting ministers and acolytes are everyday people who serve as worship leaders. Hymns and songs are meant for the whole assembly to sing together. Our focus is on our Lord and Savior as we bring our praise, prayers and thanksgivings in order to be refreshed and equipped to be God's light to the world during the rest of the week.
Our primary worship book is Evangelical Lutheran Worship.
Children Participate!
Children are welcome in all our worship services. A special corner of the sanctuary has been dedicated, set with a rug to allow little ones to be comfortable and quietly play while parents can sit nearby. Families with young children are also encouraged to sit near the front to help the children engage in worship. A supervised nursery is also available for children up to the age of four on Sunday mornings.
