Sunday Worship: In-Person & Virtual at 9 a.m.

On Sunday mornings, we gather together for worship at 9 a.m. both in-person and virtually. This service is a time of celebration as we worship together and explore God’s Word. The songs in this service draw from the Evangelical Lutheran Worship Hymnal, as well as Christian contemporary songs. Each week, the message brings insight and perspective that make the scripture come alive. Sunday School programming is offered during worship the second, third and fourth Sunday of the month.

Coffee Fellowship Hour

Stick around after worship and have coffee with fellow congregational member and the Pastor. You are welcome to sit outside or in the Fellowship hall.  

In-Person Worship

We offer in-person worship in the sanctuary each Sunday at 9 a.m. The following precautions help us balance the desire for physical togetherness and the need to keep everyone safe:
  • To be consistent with what youth experience in school, the decision to mask or not at church for children will be made by parents or guardians.
  • All OFLC staff and volunteers working directly with youth are required to wear masks.  This includes worship, Sunday school, Engage & Confirm, and any similar group meeting with youth.
  • Masks are also recommended for all adults regardless of vaccination status while indoors.
  • These changes are intended to help keep the youngest of our congregation safe while vaccines are not yet available for them.
