given to the Glory of God
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. 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 should be placed in the offering
plate and will be collected 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.
