Welcome to God’s House
Sunday, July 6, 2008
 
May God’s grace and peace fill our hearts as we worship this day. A special welcome to all visitors!

 

Children  

Children of all ages are welcome in our service. Children learn to worship the Lord as they watch and follow their parents and other adults. A special children’s bulletin is available from an usher, and all children are encouraged to come forward for the children’s message. There is a cry room in the back of the church if needed. Let us all worship the Lord this day!                                                                                             

Prayer as You Enter the Church 

Almighty, ever-living God, grant that I may sincerely repent of my sin, gladly hear Your Word, worthily receive Your supper, and that all my worship may be pleasing to You, through Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior. Amen.

Worship Note

Our worship is called “Divine Service.”  The Divine (God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) comes into the sanctuary and serves us with His gifts of forgiveness, peace, and strength.  Yes, God serves us in worship!  The highlights of our service are the absolution (God washes away our sins), the reading and preaching of the word (God strengthens our faith and increases our understanding), and, above all, the Lord’s Supper (God feeds us with Himself that we have eternal life).  We respond to God’s great mercy with hymns, chants, and prayers.  If you have any questions about our service, please contact Pastor Bushur or Pastor Roberts.  Thank you.
