Welcome to our Visitors!
Grace Lutheran Church welcomes you this morning! We value families with children and encourage you to worship together; if you would like assistance with a small child during the service, an usher will be happy to direct you and your child to an area outside of the sanctuary, volunteers are ready to assist you as needed. Please fill out a Visitor Connect card, these are found either on the entrance table or in the pew rack in front of you. Completed cards will be collected along with the offering today.
Sunday School
All are welcome to attend the adult Sunday School class before worship beginning at 8:45.
Holy Communion
Those who are baptized and believe that Jesus Christ, crucified and risen, is truly present in the forms of bread and wine for the forgiveness of sins, life, and salvation, are welcome to the Lord’s Table. Please let the Pastor know that you wish to receive this gift of life by holding out your open hands. If you desire to drink the wine from the common cup, please proceed to the left chalice after receiving the wafer. If you prefer to dip the wafer into the wine, please proceed to the right chalice after receiving the wafer. You are encouraged to bring young children forward for a blessing. The sign for a blessing is folded hands.
