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

Folks are welcome to sit outside or in the Fellowship Hall as they are able. In order to share the effort as a congregation, we are asking that households consider signing up for a week to provide hospitality. If you sign up, your responsibility would be for the following:

- Make coffee, set up coffee cart and wheel outside (weather permitting).
- Dump out excess coffee and clean coffee pot, wheel cart back inside after fellowship.
OPTIONAL: provide lemonade or similar drink for the kids, and/or a light, prepacked snack.

If no one signs up for a week, then no coffee that week. You’re free to stick around and chat, however! There will be instructions in the kitchen for making coffee, and all items for that will be provided by the church. If you know you’re going to be around this summer, consider sponsoring a week!

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:
  • Masks are no longer required for those who have been fully vaccinated. Those who have not been vaccinated should continue to wear their mask. All tape barriers will be removed. Congregational singing is permitted as long as congregants wear masks. Worship attendance is back to 100% capacity. We will continue to take information on all who attend for contact tracing purposes. 

Virtual Worship via ZOOM

We welcome you to participate in worship using the Zoom platform where you can view a live video of the worship service, use the chat box to submit prayer requests and announcements, and see the faces of others who are also participating from home. Need to download Zoom on your smartphone or laptop? It's simple and free. Check out this YouTube video about how to sign up and then head to Zoom's webpage to get started. 

Virtual Worship via YouTube

Our Father's has a YouTube channel where you can view worship live at 9 a.m. each Sunday. You can also visit our channel anytime to see worship video archives in case you missed a week of worship along the way.
