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 Sunday School before worship beginning
at 8:45; classes are available for both children and adults.
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.
