Worship 

In Worship the community of God gathers to offer thanks and praise to the Lord. Sins are forgiven. The Sacraments are received. The Word is heard.

Worship services are held at 8:00am and 10:30am each Sunday. A new Worship service is offered each Thursday at 6:14pm.

 Our services include:

• Children's Messages (occasionally with puppets) are included each Sunday.

• Holy Communion is celebrated on the 1st and 3rd Sundays of the month and every other Thursday.

• Holy Communion is celebrated every Sunday during Advent and Easter

• Our Youth host Worship Services on the 5th Sundays.

• Refreshments and fellowship follow the 8:00am service.

Lenten Worship - formal and informal worship with mini-dramas delivering a biblical message are preceded by a soup/potluck supper.

The Sacraments

The Sacrament of Holy Baptism

Lutherans baptize both infants and adults. We believe that God is the One who acts in baptism, washing us, cleansing us from sin and freeing us from bondage to death and evil. In baptism God makes us God's own and places us within God's family. Through faith, parents promise to raise their children in faith.

The Sacrament of Holy Communion

God grants us forgiveness, life and and salvation through the Lord's Supper, also called the Eucharist, or Sacrament of the Altar. We believe Christ is "really present"  in, with and under the bread and wine of communion.

 The Lord's Supper is celebrated on the first and third Sundays of each month, every other Thursday of each month, every Sunday in the seasons of Advent and Easter, and on special holidays. 

 At Gloria Dei, children receive instruction in preparation for the Sacrament during the fifth grade. Children that are already communing are welcome to receive communion.
