Worship at Grace
Grace Lutheran Church offers two types of services most Sundays. Our contemporary service follows the weekly pancake breakfast for our homeless neighbors. Our traditional service is later in the morning, following the Contemporary Service during the summer and after the Education Hour during the rest of the year. We also offer additional services during the church year for special events and festivals.

Contemporary Worship
Our contemporary service grew out of our weekly pancake breakfast as an opportunity to share the Word with our homeless neighbors. The services started with only a few that stayed after breakfast and grew to a larger regular group. Many members of Grace have also chosen this service as their regular worship time.
The contemporary worship service contains the Word and the Sacrament but the setting is less formal and uses contemporary songs (and some traditional hymns with contemporary music) from our Praise Band.
The contempoary service starts at 8:30am on Sunday in Hope Hall.
Traditional Worship
Our traditional worship service follows the liturgy from the Evangelical Lutheran Worship (ELW). The Service of the Word and Service of the Sacrament are done in a more traditional setting. Music for this service is provided by Virginia Harmon, our organist and the Grace Choir. On holidays, the Grace Chimers also provide a wonderful performance.
The traditional service starts at 10:00am during the summer and 11:00am the rest of the year.
Special Worship Services
Grace also provides special worship services throughout the year. Please see our calendar for details on special worship services.
