How We Worship

Liturgies

Worship

The order of our service follows one of the liturgies from Evangelical Lutheran Worship (ELW). The ELW is a relatively new resource, which combines hymnody from the rich tradition of the Lutheran Church and multicultural sources. These liturgies, which we often call settings, are changed around the seasons of the church year. Our bulletins contain the entire service.

Music

Music plays an important role in the life of our worship. The songs are taken from a variety of resources, most predominantly the ELW and a contemporary hymnbook Reformation created. These can be found where worshipers are seated.

Participation Opportunities

The word ‘liturgy’ means “work of the people”, and we welcome leadership within the service from more than just the pastor. Volunteers are encouraged to assist with essential elements of our church service which can include:

If you would like to participate in worship, please talk to the pastor, or call or email the church office.

Communion

When celebrating communion, our service follows a fourfold pattern: Gathering, Word, Meal and Sending.
