Please come and join us as we celebrate Holy Communion each Sunday. Be fed with heavenly food. Then "Go In Peace and Serve the Lord." Our Lord invites all who are baptized to join him at his table!
The Liturgy and the Church Year!
Here at Grace, just as with most other Lutheran parishes, we use a style of Liturgy, which changes with the Church Calendar. As a worshiper you'll note that settings, themes, and moods change as the church year progresses. Now is the season of Holy Week. It begins with Jesus' triumphant return to Jerusalem, on Palm Sunday (today), then moves into his Passover Meal with his disciples on Maundy Thursday, his subsequent betrayal and ends with his being led to Calvary's cross, on Good Friday. Next is Easter morning. The tomb is empty and our Lord is raised from the dead. Alleluia! Soon we'll be entering the season of Easter with shouts of "Alleluia! Christ is risen, He is risen indeed!"
Take note as the church year progresses (Advent, Christmas, Epiphany, Lent, Holy Week, Easter, and Pentecost). Note how both the colors and the mood change. Note how these changes affect the style of worship.
Peace, Pastor Howell

This year's summer theme is: "For the Healing of the World". As Holden write in their newsletter. " We must examine the sickness and suffering of our world and of our lives-the physical ills as well as the economic, social, political, environmental, and spiritual struggles that effect people around the world. We will study how God heals, in scripture and in our lives. We will consider the roles of confession, forgiveness, reconciliation, and salvation in healing." Added to this are the always available hikes, pottery, basket making, weaving and wonderful worship. Specially programmed activities for children, ages three through High School are available in the mornings to free parents for sessions.
Space is limited so be sure to check out the sign up sheets in the narthex or office. Talk to Pastor Howell for more information.
