Wed Midweek Services

Lenten and Advent Midweek services 7pm Wednesdays
During the Lenten season (Ash Wednesday to Easter) and during the Advent season the month prior to Christmas) we have midweek services at 7pm. During the Lenten season we also have a Fellowship potluck Soup Supper at 6pm, just before the service. All are welcome.

The Lord's Supper

As a Lutheran church, we believe that the Lord's Supper is the Real Presence of Christ. His true body and blood are offered "in, with and under" the bread and wine. When these are received in faith we receive both the forgiveness of sins and the strengthening of our faith (1 Corinthians 11:10).
If this is your confession you are welcome to receive communion. If you belong to Christian denomination with a different confession, and will not be communing with us, we invite you to come to the Lord's Table with crossed arms and receive a blessing.
