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
An adult Sunday School class meets each Sunday before worship
beginning at 8:45 in the Fellowship Hall; All are welcome to attend!
Holy Communion
Those who are baptized and believe that Jesus Christ, crucified and
risen, is truly present in, with, and under 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.
