We have two unique worship experiences each week.  Our traditional worship is at 9:30 on Sunday mornings and our more intimate, Bible study oriented worship time is Wednesdays at 6:30 p.m.  Both services include Communion.

At Peace Lutheran Church our form of worship is known as “liturgical,” meaning literally “a work of the people.” Thus, in worship, you will witness the gathered community standing, sitting, and responding (through words, songs, and silence.) In other words, for Lutheran Christians, worship is not passive, but very much an act – a work in which we all participate.

For Lutherans, worship matters. In fact, worship lies at the heart of how we understand ourselves together. While some of the approaches to worship may differ from one congregation to another, we hold certain things in common.

There is a basic pattern for worship among Lutherans. We gather. We encounter God’s Word. We share a meal at the Lord’s table. And we are sent into the world. But we do not think about worship so much in terms of what we do. Worship is fundamentally about what God is doing and our response to God’s action. Worship is an encounter with God, who saves us through the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Think about it like this. God’s Spirit calls us together. God speaks to us through readings from the Old and New Testaments of the Bible, through preaching, prayer, and song. God feeds and nourishes us in a saving way. And God blesses us and and sends us out into our community and beyond to do God’s work with our hands.

Of course, worship is much more than what can be explained here. So, we invite you to come and see. Come join our assembly as we seek to worship God and encounter God in word and sacrament, in silence and song, in good news announced and in peace shared.
