Lord of Love services follow the basic pattern of Lutheran worship: we gather, hear God’s word, share at the Lord ‘s Table, and are sent into the world to be Christ to others. Worship is a time for us to listen, pray, confess, receive forgiveness, and praise God. In worship, we encounter God, who saves us through the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

There is one Sunday worship at 9 AM. Online worship is also available through livestreamed and recorded services.

Why do Lutherans wear red on Reformation Sunday?

  • Red helps us remember that the same Spirit who empowered the apostles at Pentecost also empowered the Reformers.
  • Red symbolizes the blood of martyrs – those who gave their lives for the sake of the Gospel. Wearing red acknowledges their courage and the cost of discipleship.
  • Red visually expresses the fiery passion for truth, grace, and Scripture that powered the Reformation.
  • Red is the liturgical color assigned to days that emphasize the Holy Spirit, bold confession, and the renewal of the Church.

At 10:15AM there are fellowship and youth and adult Christian education opportunities, including bible study, forums, and discussion groups.

Worship Support

Liturgy literally means “the work of the people”.
Worship takes coordination and support of worshipping members in a variety of ways, including:
Greeters – welcome people into God’s house and our church community
Ushers – hand out worship materials, assist worshippers in finding seating, collect the offering and provide various types of assistance throughout the worship service
Assisting Minister (liturgist) – is a layer person who leads the people in various portions of the liturgy, reads the lessons and prayers for the day
Communion Servers – assist the pastor and assisting minister during Holy Communion
Altar Care – prepares the worship space each Sunday by tending to the paraments, banners, candles.  Prepares wine and bread and assists behind the scenes at Holy Communion.
Musicians – support the musical praise and offerings of each service
