We're glad you found us! Below are some questions we often
get from visitors and newcomers, along with our responses. If you have other
questions or need information you cannot find on our site, please call or send us an
email. We'd love to hear from you and hope to see you soon!
Do I have to be a Lutheran to attend services?
Nope. We welcome visitors from all faith backgrounds, as
well as visitors who don't currently subscribe to any particular religious
faith and just want to hear and know more about the Christian faith. Even our
members come from very diverse religious (and non-religious) backgrounds.
How should I dress for Sunday services?
Be yourself – be comfortable. You will see worshipers in
anything from jeans to their "Sunday Best".
Should visitors or newcomers participate in communion?
It is up to each individual worshiper. We practice open
communion every Sunday, welcoming all who believe in Jesus to join in communion
at the Lord's table. This includes welcoming children of all ages at the
table.
Am I expected to put something in the offering plate?
We do not expect visitors to contribute an offering.
Offerings are given of free will and are not considered payment for attending
services.
Can I bring small children to Sunday services?
Please do! Many families with small children regularly
worship together in the sanctuary during Sunday services. If you prefer,
children 4 and under may spend service time comfortable and well-supervised in
the nursery. Little ones typically return for the Children's Sermon and join
their parents for communion. The nursery is attended during the service and is available to you and your child at any time.
I have many questions about religion and what spiritual path
is right for me. How do I find answers to these questions?
Questions and the discourse they provoke are important parts
of helping each of us define who we are and what choices to make. Our Pastor
would welcome your call or email to discuss your questions and offer spiritual
guidance. Click on the "Contact Us" section of this site for Pastor
Jennie's contact information. You may also find that attending services and
joining one of our small discussion/study groups will bring the clarity you
seek. Whether it's one-on-one with our Pastor, within a small group, or just
between you and God...keep asking those questions!
