Join us Sunday, August 30 for the Blessing of the
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 ALL 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 Scripture readings so there is no need to "juggle" anything.
There'll be lots of singing: the Lutheran Church has long 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. We tend toward casual. 😉
Communion Practice:
The celebration of the Lord’s Supper is for all who are baptized and who believe that Christ is truly present in, with, and under the bread and the wine.
Children who have not received their first communion instruction are invited to come forward for a blessing.
For Children:
Weekly children's bulletins for pre-readers, beginning-intermediate readers, and advanced readers.
Activity packs containing Bible story coloring pages and crayons.
A children's sermon given by Cooper and Miss Julie.
A nursery room with many toys, 2 rocking chairs, and a changing table.
Children are welcome to stay with their parents for the whole service.
