SCHEDULE
We worship each Sunday morning at 9:00 a.m. Midweek services are held on Wednesday evenings in Lent at 7:00 p.m. This year, we will be meeting at 6:45 p.m. on the Wednesdays between Ash Wednesday and Holy Week.
THE HEART OF WORSHIP
Since
worship is at the very heart of Christian community, Our Savior’s
Lutheran Church is committed to providing worship opportunities that
will enable people to encounter the living God. Our style of worship
is blended in that it includes both traditional and contemporary music
and liturgy. We seek to provide a worship experience which is
celebratory and meaningful for all age groups, and of course, we warmly
welcome visitors.
HOLY COMMUNION
Holy
Communion is celebrated at Our Savior's on the first and third Sunday
of each month. In this meal, we remember that Jesus’ body was broken
and his blood was poured out for the forgiveness of our sins. By eating
and drinking, we participate in this saving event of the past. Yet this
feast is more than just a memory—we also recognize that Christ is
present with us today. He is in, with and under the bread and
wine—nourishing us and strengthening us in our faith. And this
sacrament is also a foretaste of the feast to come when all creation
will be united under the Lordship of Jesus Christ.
All
baptized Christians who receive communion in their home congregations
are welcome to join in this holy meal at Our Savior’s Lutheran. The
children of our members are eligible to begin receiving Communion in
the fifth grade, but if your child has already begun receiving
communion in your home congregation, regardless of age, he or she is
welcome to receive it here, too. Children and adults who do not yet
receive communion are invited to come forward with their families to be
given a special blessing.
HOLY BAPTISM
We
believe that in baptism, God forgives sin, delivers from death and the
devil and give everlasting salvation to all who believe what God has
promised. Our baptism, then, becomes central to our very identity as
people of God. Since baptism is a totally free gift of God, it is open
to people of all ages, including infants. Martin Luther said that there
is no better picture of unearned grace than a child at the baptismal
font. Through our confirmation program, young people can learn more
about their baptism in order to publicly a
ffirm it at the rite of confirmation. To be baptized or to learn more about baptism, please contact Pastor Gentry.
SERMONS
Pastor posts her sermons each week at her sermon blog. Printed copies are also available in the narthex.
ACTIVITY BAGS
Carolyn
Vogel has made a set of children's activity bags. They are available
in the narthex to keep our little worshipers happy. There is also a
nursery area in the basement with a rocking chair, toys and a changing
table.
