Worship
We offer three weekend services with great vocal and instrumental music, uplifting hymns, communion, and a practical, relevant message. Worship styles rotate weekly and range from the traditional worship settings from Evangelical Lutheran Worship (ELW) to more contemporary styles such as Marty Haugen’s “Now the Feast and Celebration”. We also hold Wednesday night services during the weeks before Easter, often preceded by a meal in the Fellowship Hall.
(During the school year)
- Saturdays at 5 p.m.
- Sundays at 8 & 10:30 a.m.
Sunday school for children ages 4 – 12 and study groups for youth and adults of all ages are held between services on Sunday mornings from 9:15 a.m. until 10:15 a.m.
During the summer months, we do not hold weekly Sunday school and instead offer exciting faith exploration activities during the week (more information is available in the “ministries” section of the site). We also shift our worship service times.
(Memorial Day through Labor Day)
- Saturdays at 5 p.m.
- Sundays at 9 a.m.
Music
We love to sing, and we enjoy a variety of different musical styles. Hymns are sung from Evangelical Lutheran Worship (the cranberry book in the pew) or from the Hymnal Supplement (the maroon soft-cover book in the pew). Often, songs from other sources are included as inserts in the worship bulletin. We are fortunate to have many talented musical groups within the congregation as well, and our worship services are often enhanced by bell choirs, vocal choirs, and contemporary worship bands.
Communion
At Peace, we practice open communion. We invite all Christians, regardless of denominational affiliation, to join us in taking communion. Typically, we take an empty glass from an usher (or one prefilled with grape juice for those who prefer it) and kneel at the altar rail to receive the bread and the wine. Children who aren’t ready to take communion receive a blessing. An acolyte then collects your empty glass and you return to your seat. During holidays or special events, we sometimes have communion through intinction, in which case there are no wine glasses. You receive a wafer which you dip into the wine before eating it. Communion can be confusing, even for a Christian who has attended worship services in a variety of churches. If you have a question, feel free to ask an usher.
