Worship at Grace

 

Grace offers three distinct worship experiences each weekend along with our holiday worship schedules

  • Saturday 5:00 p.m. Casual Worship
  • Sunday 8:30 a.m. Traditional Worship
  • Sunday 10:00 a.m. Contemporary Worship

Our weekly messages are designed to help you better understand the Bible and God’s words for today’s world.

 

We offer Holy Communion at every weekly service, and we welcome all who believe to receive communion. Children and those who have not yet received Communion instruction are invited to receive a blessing.

 

 

Grace’s music worship life is enhanced by the vocal and instrumental gifts of many people through our adult and youth choirs, praise teams, children’s choirs, worship band and large-group ensembles, adding to the beauty and enjoyment of worship each week.Bread used at Holy Communion each week is lovingly baked by member families (view or print a PDF of our Communion Bread Recipe). Worship at Grace is enjoyed in many styles and formats, from traditional Lutheran liturgy and hymns through contemporary songs and even Bluegrass liturgy. We know that people respond in positive ways to many different styles of music, and we work to incorporate those styles in our worship!

Children are welcome!
Children are welcome in worship at Grace, where a special children’s message is presented every week to help our youngest worshippers understand and live God's words for them. While all children are always welcome, a staffed nursery is provided for parents of small children who find it difficult to sit for long periods of time.

Baptism
The Sacrament of Holy Baptism is offered at designated worship services throughout the year. We welcome all--adults, children and infants--to become a member of the Body of Christ through baptism. For more information or to indicate a desire for baptism, please contact one of our pastors or the church office.


 

Healing Services
Grace offers a Service of Healing periodically through the year. This brief service, held immediately following our Sunday contemporary worship service, focuses on the healing love and power that God extends to all people. Included in the service are the anointing with oil and laying on of hands, if desired.

The next healing services at Grace are scheduled for the weekend of May 17th and 18th.  Laying on of hands and anointing of oil is offered to all who wish to receive it.  It is to provide healing for all ills of body, mind or soul and to provide a blessing.  All are welcome to come and receive.  “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”  Matthew 11:28 

 

 

Outdoor Worship
Throughout the summer, Grace's 10:00 a.m. contemporary worship service is often held, weather permitting, in our beautiful outdoor worship area. Worshippers are invited to bring a lawn chair or blanket and worship in the beauty of God's creation!
