Welcome! If this is your first time worshiping at Grace Lutheran, the Visitor Center in the Gathering Hall (right outside the sanctuary) has information for you about our congregation. Please ask questions of the greeters and say hello if you feel comfortable!

Here at Grace we worship in two alternating styles, organ-led liturgy or piano-led liturgy. The style for today, as well as which liturgical setting is used, is listed on the front cover of the days
bulletin.

We worship together in many ways: Standing, sitting, singing, speaking, listening. You are invited to worship in as many (or few) ways as you are comfortable and able. When following along in the bulletin, the congregation is invited to read the items in bold (often marked with a C:) aloud. Large print bulletins are available from the ushers.

Children belong and are welcome in worship! Children’s bulletins are available from the   ushers, and activity bags are available outside the doors to the sanctuary. The Gathering Hall also has a Corner just for Kids. This space is intended as a place for children to be and play if they need to step out of worship and during times of fellowship.

Communion – We welcome all people to the Lord’s table to receive Holy Communion.       Children ages 3 and above are welcome at the parents’ discretion, after meeting for instruction with the pastor. Children not instructed are invited to come forward for a blessing. If you are not able to come forward to take communion, please notify an usher before the service. Then try to sit by the aisle and the pastor will commune you in your pew.

Active Grace worship is usually celebrated on the first Sunday of each month (September – November, January – April).

Children are welcome at all our worship services, however Active Grace is designed specifically for children to be present. A standalone event, each worship also serves to introduce the learning topic of each month. Join us for the lunch and learn directly after if it works with your schedule.

• September: Care for Creation
• October: Stewardship of Resources (money and talents)
• November: Stewardship of Self
• December: the group will take a break during the Advent and Christmas season
