Sunday Schedule
9:00 a.m. -
Worship
We gather ten minutes before the official start of worship for announcements, temple talks, etc. The worship service is a "blended" worship service, using contemporary songs supported by audio-visual images and praise team music and traditional hymns of
the Lutheran Church supported by organ or piano. We currently use setting 8 from Evangelical Lutheran Worship.
Holy Communion is offered at all worship services; it is received kneeling at the altar
rail on the first and third Sundays of each month and by processional intinction
on the remaining Sundays. A staffed nursery is available during the worship service.

About Our Worship
The term liturgy means "the work of the people." We gather to offer our praise and prayers,
to hear God's word in scripture and sermon, to receive the sacrament of Holy
Communion and to be sent into the world as the Body of Christ. The people of
First Lutheran carry out the
ministries of welcome, ushering, scripture reading, worship
assisting , music and audio-visual
support. The pastor leads the worship, offers the sermon in various ways,
including an occasional song, and presides during the sacrament of Holy
Communion, which is offered at all worship services.
