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.

Self Care Presentation. Join us as presenter Gary Rasmussen, from the National Alliance on Mental Illness, helps us recognize the importance of self care. Gary holds a master’s degree in Psychology and has years of experience in community mental health services. He will share ways that we may protect and promote our physical and mental health.

We anticipate the presentation to be about an hour so please grab your donut and coffee and meet us in Grace Hall 1 right after worship.
