Please support our "God's work. Our hands." Service Project:
God's Love knows NO BOUNDS nor BARRIERS!
ALL are called to be His children.
Through His Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, God WELCOMES ALL!
St. Mark's & the ELCA hold this at our very core, WELCOMING ALL who seek the Lord.
Join us each Sunday to worship He who created us, sustains us, and calls us His own.
10:30A
In our services we use a wide variety of sources drawing on many worship traditions to guide our worship, including several different hymnals.
Worship follows a formal liturgy drawing upon a rich history of liturgical worship. An in-depth explanation of the liturgy may be found here.
Our bulletins contain the entire service: liturgy, hymns, and Bible readings so there is no need to "juggle" anything.
There'll be lots of singing: the Lutheran Church long having been known as "The Singing Church." Martin Luther, founder of the Lutheran Church, was also a noted hymn writer. His most famous hymn, "A Mighty Fortress Is Our God", is considered by many to be the anthem of the Lutheran Church. Whether you sing on or off key matters not; just raise your voice in praise.
Dress Code: be dressed. How formal or casual is up to you.😉
