Welcome to Our Worship: Our readings during November speak of the end times. Zephaniah proclaims that the coming day of the Lord will be filled with wrath and distress. Paul says it will come like a thief in the night and urges us to be awake and sober. Jesus tells the parable of the talents, calling us to use our gifts, while we still have time, for the greater and common good. In a world filled with violence and despair, we gather around signs of hope—word, water, bread, and wine—eager to welcome the good news of Christ’s coming among us.
Worship and Communion: As you arrive to worship today, if you brought a photo or other memory of a loved one or have written their name on a piece of paper, please place the item(s) on the table located at the front of the sanctuary.
For Lutherans, worship stands at the center of our life of faith, and we are pleased to welcome you today. Through God’s word, water, bread, and prayer we are nurtured in faith and sent out into the world. Connected with and central to everything we do, worship unites us in celebration, engages us in thoughtful dialogue and helps us grow in faith. If you are visiting or new to our faith family, please fill out the yellow guest card and put it in the offering plate so we may have a record of your presence today. Come back and worship with us each Sunday at 10 a.m. The Sacrament of Holy Communion is offered to all worshiping today. You may come forward for the sacraments or cross your arms in front of you for a blessing.
Fellowship: Please join us after worship today in the Fellowship Hall for coffee and conversation.
