Worship & congregation life

Worship

One of the most distinguishable characteristics of a church is its use of the Word and the Sacraments. A congregation's worship is its most visible and most important act as a community of faith. Fellowship's regular Sunday morning worship service is at 10:00 AM. On the 1st Sunday of each month, we offer a Worship and Praise style service. 


We celebrate the Sacrament of Holy Communion at every service and at other special occasions during the year such as Ash Wednesday, Maundy Thursday, and Christmas Eve. 


The Communion table at Fellowship is "open" meaning that all who profess faith in Jesus Christ are welcome to join us in this sacred meal. We believe that Christ is truly present in the sacrament "in, with and under" the bread and wine of the Lord's Supper.

Christian Education

Christian Education is a tradition in the Lutheran Church and a priority among our ministries at Fellowship.  God reveals himself to us in the Scriptures and our study of them helps us apply them to our daily lives.  This is an essential part of our growth as Christians. 


Sunday School for all ages 3 years old through 7th grade begins at 9:00 AM every Sunday except holidays and during the summer months. 


A one year confirmation class for 6th through 8th graders is offered every other year as needed and is held during the Sunday School hour.  Please contact the Pastor for more details. 


Adult Sunday School meets in the narthex on Sundays at 9:00 a.m. except holidays and Sundays during the summer months.

Fellowship

There are many opportunities to socialize with the other members of our family of faith. Opportunities for all ages are offered throughout the year. You always invited to join us.

Youth Activities

Retreats and regional gatherings for our Middle School and Senior High youth are regularly scheduled.  The fees for these off-site congregational retreats and regional gatherings with youth from other congregations are generously offset by a portion of the proceeds from our Pumpkin Patch sales in past years.

what Lutherans believe

1. Lutherans accept the teachings of Martin Luther, a German theologian who realized that there were significant differences between what he read in the Bible and the practices of the Roman Catholic Church at that time.  On October 31, 1517, he posted a challenge on the door of the Wittenberg University, titled "95 Theses," hoping the church would reform its practice and preaching to be more consistent with the Bible.  


2. Lutherans believe in one Triune God – God the Father, the Creator; Jesus Christ, the Savior; and the Holy Spirit (God’s presence in the church today), the Redeemer.


3. Lutherans believe in the priesthood of all believers.  We all share in ministry and have the responsibility to teach and pray for one another, and to live godly lives among our families, in our jobs, and in our communities.  


4. The Lutheran Church believes in grace alone, faith alone, and Word alone.  We are saved by the grace of God alone -- not by anything we do. Our salvation is through faith alone -- a confident trust in God, who in Christ promises us forgiveness, life and salvation. The Bible is the inspired Word of God - the norm for our faith and life.   


For more detailed information on what Lutherans believe, please see our Confession of Faith from our constitution.
