Remote Participation via Zoom or in person

Wednesdays in December at 6:30 pm

The “now-and-not-yet” nature of the fulfillment of our hope in Christ is never more rhetorically real than in the season of Advent. In its great wisdom, the lectionary launches us into this wheel of time with a season that, much like our own lives, is full of endings and beginnings—and, of course, waiting.

Please join us December 1st, 8th, 15th, and 22nd for Evening Prayer at 6:30 pm and stay for fellowship and a simple snack of cider & cookies afterward.

Remote Participation via Zoom or in person

Sundays @ 10 am

Advent is about the “coming days.” God’s people have always lived in great expectation, but that expectation finds specific, repeated enunciation in the texts appointed for these four weeks. The ancients anticipated a “righteous Branch to spring up for David.” The Thessalonians awaited “the coming of our Lord Jesus with all the saints.” Jesus’ contemporaries hoped for the time “to stand before the Son of Man.” With them we eagerly await the coming days: another Christmas celebration, a second coming, and the advent of Christ in word and supper.

We invite you to participate with this week's Sunday bulletin. If you do not attend in person and cannot participate remotely, you can watch or listen to the service at your convenience on our Worship Services page.

We are keeping each other safer by worshipping in a blended in-person and online format. If you would like to attend church in person, you will be seated on a first-come, first-served basis. Masks are required to keep everyone safe.

We at Grace Lutheran Church want to offer hospitality to the community, and we want to keep our community as safe and healthy as possible. We have recently started opening the church building in a limited capacity for in-person, masked worship services, Grace member activities, local partner weekly building usage, and some music performance rentals.

During this time of physical distancing while some of us are worshipping remotely, Pastor Matthew invites you to construct your own, at-home altar and prepare the elements for at-home communion as part of our Worship Services. He gives further instructions on the construction and elements here.
