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 without the traditional Lutheran liturgy.
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 baptized Christians who have been receiving the sacrament in their own congregations and who believe that Christ is truly present in the sacrament to forgive their sin are encouraged to receive His Body and Blood, "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.
