Worship Events





 

 

Here at Redeemer Lutheran Church we offer three weekly worship services, in a variety of styles, in the hope that everyone can experience worship in a meaningful way.

Saturday evening at 5:30
This service follows a less formal version of a Holy Communion service from the Evangelical Lutheran Worship. Holy Communion is offered weekly.

Sunday early morning at 8:00
This "traditional" service follows a Holy Communion service from the Evangelical Lutheran Worship.  Holy Communion is offered weekly.

Sunday late morning at 10:30 (9:30, summer schedule*)
This service includes the vital elements of worship used by Christians in the early church gathering, word, meal, and sending. Worship songs are chosen from a variety of sources; congregational singing is led by a songleader and worship band. Holy Communion is offered weekly.

At all three of our weekly worship services you can experience:

  • A welcoming atmosphere
  • Relevant, Gospel-based preaching
  • Worshipful music

A nursery is provided at both Sunday services and during the fellowship hour.

At Redeemer we firmly believe and openly proclaim that worship is not intended to be a "spectator sport". It is not an "event" to be experienced passively; instead, it is the work of all the people - we actively offer our worship to God. To this end, we encourage enthusiastic singing and active listening by all!

In addition, our Sunday School sessions run from 9:15-10:15am. This includes Preschoolers(3-5yr olds) through Senior High, Adult Forums, an Adult Bible Study, a Parenting Bible Study, new member classes, and a social time.

On Ash Wednesday and continuing throughout the Lenten season we offer soup suppers prior to the Wednesday evening service. Beginning at 5:45pm, these suppers furnish a wonderful time for fellowship and a great supper for the entire family. The service follows at 6:45pm.  Please join us!


*Each year the summer schedule begins around the first Sunday in June. There are no Sunday School classes, but a social time is offered between services. We return to our "regular" schedule in September on Rally Sunday! Please check the Calendar page for exact beginning and ending dates of the summer schedule.
