Healing Prayer Worship

April 20-21, 2024

All worship services on the weekend of April 20-21 will observe a special pattern of prayerfulness for emotional, physical and/or spiritual healing. On healing prayer weekends we set aside time to pray with and for one another in worship. Our time of Holy Communion is also enhanced with prayer and anointing with oil at the altar. As we focus on prayer, we will also have cards so you may write prayer requests to be lifted up by our prayer chain and staff in the following week. Please invite a friend or anyone you know who needs to be surrounded in prayer.  They are welcome to be our guest!

Worship is where we start and end as a community of faith in Christ.   We offer different styles of worship at a variety of times each week to help people engage in faith when and where they are most comfortable. 


5 p.m. Saturdays:
Piano-led traditional worship with modified liturgy, and special music primarily through vocal and instrumental solos. Our pastors give the message and wear traditional vestments, or robes. Holy Communion is celebrated every week and is open to all. There is use of our cry room during this service.


9 a.m. Sundays:

Organ-led traditional worship with modified liturgy, and vocal and bell choirs and occasional solo music. Our pastors give the message and wear traditional vestments, or robes. Holy Communion is celebrated every week and is open to all. Childcare is available during this service.


11 a.m. Sundays:

A contemporary style band-led worship service with music from popular Christian recording artists along with familiar congregational songs of our Lutheran heritage. Our pastors give a weekly message with Holy Communion celebrated and open to all. Childcare is available during this service.


6:30 p.m. Wednesdays:

Our Wednesday Evening Midweek ECHO Worship is contemporary in style and led by many youth in our Confirmation Ministry. ECHO Worship is meant to "echo" the themes of weekend worship. The worship culture of ECHO is safe place to explore your faith journey in a relaxed atmosphere. Holy Communion is celebrated every week and is open to all.

GROWING YOUNG

Innovative churches are growing - spiritually, emotionally, missionally, and numerically by "Growing Young"

“Growing Young” asks the question, "What does it take to help congregations and young adults grow spiritually, emotionally, and missionally?" There are several ways you can engage with this series to discover more about involving young people in the church today.
