worship

Lutheran Christians believe that worship is the place where God most directly serves us … meeting us in Confession, Baptism, Holy Communion, and the proclaimed Word.
So, worship at Nativity is as diverse as the community that gathers each week.
Though we do worship in a liturgical (ordered) format, we use different musical
settings, such as Lutheran Book of Worship, Holden Prayer, Now the Feast and
Celebration, and different spoken liturgies. We sing hymns and songs from many
different sources … our Lutheran heritage, other denominations, and newer songs
of worship and praise.
The entire worship service is printed in the bulletin each week so that
newcomers and visitors can easily find their “way around.” Hearing assistance
devices are available for those who request them.
Pastor Bob’s sermons are Scriptural and also meant to connect with everyday
life. Hymns and songs, sermons, children’s messages and choir offerings are
chosen and prepared each week with a central theme in mind. Worshippers should
be able to come away from worship with a one sentence, practical summary of the
worship service, which they can take into their work, school or home activities.
