Bring Your Palm Branches!

Passion Sunday, or Palm Sunday as it used to be called, is coming up on March 28. We invite you, like those who welcomed Jesus into Jerusalem, to cut your own palms for our procession into the Worship Center that morning. The morning's service starts with the joyful reception of Jesus as king and then recounts the events of that week, as the same people who welcomed Jesus turned against him and quickly led to his death. It is for this reason that the Sunday is now called Passion Sunday, in recognition of the story that is told that day of what Jesus allowed to happen to him after praying that God's will be done.

Home About Us
About Us

Our Lord's Supper is celebrated every Sunday morning at 9 a.m.

Sunday School
School on Sunday  for children ages 3 through Grade 6 is during the readings and sermon of morning worship.  Children will be dismissed before the readings and will return in time for communion.

Grace Lutheran Church proclaims the good news that the kingdom in which God rules is at hand, only but a turn away.

The evidence of God's rule is seen and experienced when the oppressed are set free, the hungry are fed, sins are forgiven, and lives are restored.

It is Jesus, God's Messiah, who turns humanity toward the kingdom. In our Lord's baptism and meal the spirit of Jesus opens the kingdom of God to all, and all are invited to walk with Jesus as children of God in the newness of faith, hope and love.

We invite people to come and see Jesus, walk with him, and join us in proclaiming the good news of God's gentle rule at hand.

Membership at Grace is through baptism, transfer from another congregation, or affirmation of faith.  If you would like to become a member of the ministries of Grace, please contact Pastor Wenninger (727-1724).

 
Our Mission

Redeemed by Christ and
raised to new life
in the Spirit of God,
we live thankfully,
follow Jesus,
and minister in the world.

 
Our Vision

All of life will be infused with the gratitude and joy that comes from understanding how God freely delivers from sin and death, and grants new life in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus.

Encounters with the risen Lord among his people gathered in gratitude and joy, when God’s Word is shared, and our Lord’s Supper celebrated will inspire the
following of Jesus in lives of service, faith, hope, and love.

Life in the spirit of God will pervade the world when we disperse to serve in our daily vocations, when we care for those in need, and when we invite others to come and see the Lord so that their lives might be filled with gratitude, joy, and purpose.
