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.

Accessibility: Both the Sanctuary (11:00 worship) and Hope Hall (8:30 worship) are accessible to those who use wheelchairs and walkers.  Fully-accessible restrooms are available in Hope Hall.  

Switch to Summer Schedule: We will switch to our summer worship schedule on Sunday, May 26.  Contemporary worship will remain at 8:30 am while our traditional worship will move up to 10:00 am.

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 Sundays in Hope Hall.

Traditional Worship
Our traditional worship service follows the liturgy from the Evangelical Lutheran Worship (ELW).  The Service of Word and Sacrament is done in a more traditional setting.  Music for this service is provided by Virginia Harmon, our organist and the Grace Choir.  Once a month, the Bells of Grace also provide a wonderful performance.

The traditional service starts at 10:00 am during the summer and 11:00 am 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.
