The shape of the hour

If you are visiting
Come as you are
There is no dress code. Some of us wear a collar and tie; some wear work clothes from the week. The point is to be here.
Children belong
Sunday School (PreK–6th) meets at 10:30 from September through June, when numbers allow. High school gathers on Sunday mornings as well. Middle schoolers are invited to OASIS on Thursdays. Wiggles in the pews are not a problem.
OASIS after schoolClosed communion, open door
We practice close(d) communion in the LCMS. If you are a visitor and wish to receive, speak with Pastor Paul before the service. You are welcome at worship either way.
Our regular pattern has been two Sunday services (8:15 and 10:45), with a single 10:15 service and potluck on the first Sunday, October through May. For now we continue with one Sunday service at 9:30 until further notice.
