Contemplative Worship
Saturday evenings at 6:00 p.m., a meditative worship service is offered in the nave. Join us for this meditative worship experience including hymns, Taizé chants, and plainsong, all to deepen faith and empower personal lives for peace-making.

Sunday mornings at 8:30 a.m. we celebrate a Brief order of Holy Communion in the nave. Bulletins including the music for the service are provided as well as ELWs and other materials in the pews. We sing accompanied by the organ, piano, or a variety of other instruments. We participate in Holy Communion, pass the peace, and pray for the world. Children under 5 and guardians may access the PrayGround.

SUNDAYS
From July 2 - the Fifth Sunday after Pentecost (Independence Day weekend) through September 3 - the Fourteenth Sunday after Pentecost (Labor Day weekend), there will be one Sunday service of holy communion at 11:00 am at our Rice Village Campus.
During this period, our Sunday worship will include three special occasions.
On July 23, we will observe the Day of Mary Magdalene, Apostle to the Apostles. Since Mary Magdalene was the first to see the Risen Christ and first to proclaim “I have seen the Lord” to the others, this is an Easter (white) Sunday interrupting the long “Ordinary Time” (green) liturgical season.
On July 30, our guest preacher will be the Rev. Dr. Robert Moore, one of our former senior pastors. Together with Robert, with whom she began her ministry (and now concludes it) we will celebrate the ministry and retirement of Beverly Davis. This will be a sad, joy-filled, memory-laden day!
On August 13, we will observe the Day of Mary, Mother of God, the “bearer of the Eternal Word” who “leads our praises,” as we join our voices with the church on earth and the hosts of heaven. This day is, like July 23, a white day, but it is Christmas white that will this time interrupt Ordinary Time green.
Sunday, August 27 will mark the conclusion of interim ministry at both our campuses.
SATURDAYS
Our 6:00pm Saturday Contemplative Taize services of holy communion continue through the summer as usual.
Beginning June 10 and continuing throughout the summer through September 2, these liturgies will include the semicontinuous first reading and psalm in our lectionary – you can find these listed each Sunday under the other readings on pages 38-53 of Evangelical Lutheran Worship. These readings invite us to walk along with our early faith ancestors, this year beginning with the stories of Abraham and Sarah in Genesis 12 and continuing through to the story of the call of Moses in Exodus 3.
SUNDAY WORSHIP continues at 10:30am.
