Saturday Evening Worship...
is held at 6:00 pm throughout the year, including summers. This service usually follows one of two orders of service and is fairly casual in nature. Many people are coming directly from work, or are preparing to go to work. This is an easy atmosphere for visitors to work into and if you are are new to St. Paul, you will certainly be warmly received as either visitor or new member. Everyone is welcome, and especially children!
Sunday 8:00 am Worship...
is our more traditional (liturgical) worship. Most of these services use the Lutheran Service Book, the latest released hymnal of The Lutheran Church--Missouri Synod. There is a rich tradition and history surrounding the use of liturgical worship and there are many people who prefer the use of a more structured order of service. Everyone is welcome, and especially children!
Sunday 10:30 am Worship...
is our more informal order of service. While we sometimes use orders of service from the hymnal, at least twice a month we also have a blended contemporary service that we call "Today's Praise." On these occasions we have a keyboard, electric guitars, drums, and lead singers, who help direct the musical portions of the service. We also tend to have more special music including solos, instrumentals, etc. The order of service is less structured and is more in keeping with those who desire a less traditional approach to worship. Everyone is welcome, and especially children!
Advent & Lenten Services...
are held during the appropriate season and are held on Wednesday evenings, beginning at 7:00 pm. These services emphasize the season's theme and usually has a topical approach to the sermons that fit well with the season.
Other Notes: All services are put on our worship screens for ease of following the order of service. Not only does it make it easier to follow the service, but it is also sometimes easier to see than the print in the hymnal.
Headsets that are hooked up to our sound system are available for those who have difficulty hearing.
A full nursery is available at all services and is staffed Sunday mornings. The audio portion of our services can be heard in the nursery.
