New Life Lutheran Worship


8:00 am Worship

     The 8 am Worship service uses a variety of liturgies that follow the ancient liturgy of the 4th Century. User-friendly bulletins are provided. Each service includes a corporate confession of sins for all who have gathered, hymns of praise, a prayer of the day, appointed scriptures from the lectionary followed by a message from the pastor. Prayers for God's people everywhere are offered. Children's messages are shared each Sunday. Holy Communion is celebrated weekly. The worship leaders normally vest according to the seasons of the liturgical church calendar. Music is led via an adult choir accompanied by both organ and/or piano.

10:30 am Worship

     The 10:30 am Worship provides a casual setting recognizing God's holiness and presence. It is God's House! All are welcome! Using a 21st Century model of emerging worship in America, this service is a refreshing transition leading the worshiping community from one week toward a strengthening of faith into the next. This service is attended by a multi-generational mix of people with the worship service being led by the New Life House Band. The Pastor and worship leaders dress in a less formal manner. Holy Communion is celebrated weekly. Children's messages are shared weekly as well. All are sent back into the world to love God and serve our neighbor.
