Worship Services

These services follow the more traditional liturgical form of worship familiar to Lutherans as well as those from other liturgical churches. The music at these services is somewhat blended. We sing many ‘old time favorites’ with some of the more contemporary praise hymns mixed in the service. Our Adult Choir sings an anthem weekly from September to June. On the third Sunday of each month our Junior Bell Choir plays an anthem at our 8:30 service and our Junior Choir sings at 8:30 and 11:15. On the forth Sunday of the month our Adult Bell Choir offers an anthem. During the summer months a variety of soloists, duets, etc. enhance The Good Shepherd

these services with their gifts for music. Congregational singing is accompanied with music from our organ. The Lord’s Supper (The Sacrament of Holy Communion) is observed at these services on the first and third Sunday’s of the month in addition to certain ‘holy’ days of the church. The Sacrament of Holy Baptism occurs normally on the second Sunday of the month during the worship service.
