Worship Schedule
10:30am Festive Service
The festive service at 10:30 is our largest. Communion is celebrated every week. The service is filled with music: the adult choir sings every Sunday during the school year, the handbell choir plays periodically, and guitars and saxophones make frequent appearances. Organ and piano lead the singing, everything from Lutheran chorales to Gospel to Gregorian chant. Most special events, such as baptisms and first communion happen at the 10:30 service. A nursery is available for young children.
8:15am Meditative Service
This early morning service uses silence and meditation to bring us closer to God. Communion is celebrated every week. There is usually one hymn, led by the organ.
Outdoor Service
During July, we add an outdoor worship service at Good Shepherd Center. The service is at 9:15am and is led by the Guitar Group. Communion is celebrated every week.
