Worship

Worship services at Peace are focused on Jesus and the grace that he gives to us through his Word and the Sacraments. Our worship follows a pattern that helps to keep us focused on God's grace with pre-planned scripture, hymns, and prayers. 

We utilize a variety of instruments though our primary instuments are a grand piano and the voice of the congregation. Our choir sings regularly. We encourage the entire congregation to sing the hymns because this is not a performance of professionals, but the prayers of all God's people.

We celebrate Holy Communion every Sunday. It is the definitive place where the grace of God meets us in our lives. Pastor Stephen would be glad to talk to you about Holy Communion and explain our beliefs further. With Lutherans throughout the world we approach the sacrament through the lens of Jesus teaching. Jesus said, "this is my body and blood that is given for you, and for the forgiveness of your sins." Based on his teaching we believe that forgiveness, life, salvation - these are the gifts that Jesus gives us through this sacrament. 

Children are welcome and encouraged to be in worship. We do have an excellent nursery for kids 0-4 years old who need a break or to stretch their legs. Mostly we encourage kids to be in worship because they need to hear the Word with us, and they need to be formed in the patterns of worship by the congregation. Also, the adults need to be formed by the joy and the faith of our kids. 

What you see on our YouTube channel can give you an idea of what worship is like but the best way is to join us on Sunday at 10:00 a.m.
