Parish Life

"They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and fellowship,
to the breaking of bread and the prayers." (Acts 2:42)


Divine Services

ServiceBook

The weekly Divine Service is held on Sundays, 10:00 a.m., and features a dignified order of worship that follows the Christ-centered and Bible-based historic liturgies of the ancient, orthodox, evangelical, catholic Church as contained in The Lutheran Service Book.

Special worship services are held at various times throughout the year; such as, on Wednesday evenings, 7:30 p.m., during Advent and Lent, at Christmas and Easter, and also on Wednesdays, 7:00 p.m., during the month of July.


Education

Various classes on books of the Bible, Christian doctrine, the lectionary, and other topics and issues are offered for youth and adults on Sundays, 8:45 a.m., and at other times during the week.

Sunday School classes featuring Bible stories, songs, and crafts are offered for children nursery age through grade eight from September to June on Sundays at 8:45 a.m.

Catechism classes on the six chief parts of Christian doctrine from Martin Luther's Small Catechism are held over a two year period on Wednesday nights for students in grades seven and eight as part of confirmation. In addition, catechism classes for adults who desire to learn more about the Lutheran Church and become members of our congregation are held throughout the year as needed.

Besides serving in the “various holy orders and positions” (Small Catechism, Table Of Duties) in which God has placed us, some of the service opportunities available within the congregation include a women's organization (Mary-Martha Society), an adult choir, a seniors' group (Lively Lutherans), a Board of Fellowship, the Altar Guild, and a Board of Missions.
