Celebration of Baptism

May 18-19, 2024

We will celebrate with all those who were baptized in the last year through the ministry at First Lutheran at all worship services on the weekend of May 18-19.  Last October more than a dozen people: adults, children & youth were baptized were baptized at the conclusion of our "Enter In" Worship Series.  This will give us a chance to celebrate with them and welcome anyone forward of any age who wishes to be baptized as well.  We will have reception with appetizers following the 5 p.m. Saturday service and a breakfast reception at 10 a.m. between the Sunday services for everyone to enjoy.  Please join us!

Worship is where we start and end as a community of faith in Christ.   We offer different styles of worship at a variety of times each week to help people engage in faith when and where they are most comfortable. 


5 p.m. Saturdays:
Piano-led traditional worship with modified liturgy, and special music primarily through vocal and instrumental solos. Our pastors give the message and wear traditional vestments, or robes. Holy Communion is celebrated every week and is open to all. There is use of our cry room during this service.


9 a.m. Sundays:

Organ-led traditional worship with modified liturgy, and vocal and bell choirs and occasional solo music. Our pastors give the message and wear traditional vestments, or robes. Holy Communion is celebrated every week and is open to all. Childcare is available during this service.


11 a.m. Sundays:

A contemporary style band-led worship service with music from popular Christian recording artists along with familiar congregational songs of our Lutheran heritage. Our pastors give a weekly message with Holy Communion celebrated and open to all. Childcare is available during this service.


6:30 p.m. Wednesdays:

Our Wednesday Evening Midweek ECHO Worship is contemporary in style and led by many youth in our Confirmation Ministry. ECHO Worship is meant to "echo" the themes of weekend worship. The worship culture of ECHO is safe place to explore your faith journey in a relaxed atmosphere. Holy Communion is celebrated every week and is open to all.

GROWING YOUNG
