Worship at Christ Ev. Lutheran Church is…
Distinctively Lutheran- Our worship is liturgical and follows an order of service printed within our hymnal (Lutheran Service Book). Every Sunday we receive the gift of the Lord’s Supper in the Divine Service of Holy Communion following the common order of service (Setting III in the LSB). The hymns that we sing are based on biblical texts, true to what we believe, teach, and confess, and have withstood the test of time.
Sacramental- Christ has given to His Church on earth His precious gifts of the Sacraments. Jesus promises that where two or more are gathered in His name, there He is with them. Most especially, Jesus promises to be with us bodily when we celebrate the Lord’s Supper, where He gives to His Church His very body and blood for the forgiveness of sins. Because Christ promises to truly be present with us, our worship is reverent, that is, what we say and do is deliberate and respectful for Christ’s presence with us.
Christ centered- Above all else, all that we say, sing, pray, and do is centered around Christ and what He has done for us. Our hymns sing about Christ, our sermons are about Christ, and our worship is directed towards Christ.
