Our Worship

Worship is the privileged responsibility to give our praise and thanks, in love to our gracious Lord. Worship is also our privilege to receive our Lord's blessings; as we hear His Word, obtain His forgiveness of our sins and partake of His Sacrament.

Worship is meant to be an enjoyable experience; as believers gather together in celebration, both giving to our God, and receiving from our God. 

As we attempt to make worship an enjoyable experience, we conduct a wide variety of different style and format services. An experience for you that is unique among most other churches.

Traditional Worship:  For many years Lutheran churches were

                                 linked by a common form of worship using

                                 "Liturgies" (set formats of music and word

                                 responses) and songs from a book called a

                                 "Hymnal". In late 2007 we began using the

                                  newly published hymnal: The Lutheran      

                                  Service Book.

Creative/Blended: These are worship services which contain more

                              modern music and word responses, as well as

                              hymns and songs from a wide array of Christian 

                              sources.

Contemporary-Praise: Praise services focus on using the newer 

                                    Christian songs which are available today.

                                    Such services offer medleys of these songs

                                    lead by teams of praise singers and

                                    accompanied by a synthesizer and other

                                    instruments.

Musical taste is a very personal thing...so is worship taste.

The old saying goes: "Variety is the spice of life". So to add some

"spice" to our worship at St John, we offer to you all these styles

of worship, with a different format every week.

Other Special Worship Services:

Over the course of a year we also conduct other special worship services:  Sermon/Study; Word-Song Response; Q & A with Pastor; 

Your Favorite Hymns and Songs; Gospel-Fest; Christmas Carol-Fest,

and more. 

Special Holiday Worship Services:

And we conduct worship celebrations of "secular" holidays:

Mother's Day; Father' Day; Memorial Day; Fourth of July; sometimes even St. Patrick's Day (Pastor is Irish).

Worship Times:

We offer this variety of worship services, along with a meaningful,

Bible applied message every Sunday at 8:00 and 10:30 AM.

As well as seasonal worship services: Thanksgiving; Advent and

Lenten services, etc. Wednesdays at 7:00 PM. 

 Holy Communion:

The Sacrament of Holy Communion is offered on the Second and Fourth Sundays of every month; and on special worship festivals.
