Worship
There are three summer worship services at Gloria Dei Lutheran Church: 8:00am, 9:30am, and 5pm. Our morning services lean towards a more celebrative, traditional style. Often times the choir(s) sing at the morning services. Our 5:00pm service is our alternative service with a simplified order and Holy Communion.
Holy Communion is celebrated on the first and third Sunday at the 9:30am service. Holy Communion is celebrated at the 2nd and four Sunday of each month at the 8:00am service. And Holy Communion is celebrated every Sunday at the 5pm service.
Worship at Gloria Dei is for all people. We believe young children learn best from their parents, by watching and participating. We also understand that for very young children this is a process. We do offer a nursery during the morning services.

Baptism. Baptism is the Sacrament of "Beginning" in the Lutheran Church. We baptize both infants and adults because of the command of Christ to "go and make disciples of all people, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit..."
If you are interested in baptism and membership in the Gloria Dei family, please call the church office for more information.

Holy Communion.  Holy Communion is the sacrament of "becoming." As Lutheran Christians we believe that Christ is truly present in this sacrament. At Gloria Dei we practice "open communion." That is, a person does not need to be a member of Gloria Dei, or a Lutheran to receive this sacrament. People from other denominations are also welcome to receive this gift. At Holy Communion, young children receieve a blessing. We also offer First Communion classes for non-communing children during the year. Call the church office for more information. |
