Sunday Service

Worship

All are Welcome! In addition to holding an in person worship service at 10 AM on Sundays, we are live streaming the service on our YouTube channel.

10:00 AM Sanctuary Worship

Emanuel’s largest weekly Eucharist service is a blend of musical styles and traditions.  Children typically start in worship and head to Sunday School after a children’s sermon.  Musically, the service is graced with vocal choirs, bell choirs, brass players, organ, piano, and percussion.  We use a multitude of sources for hymns and liturgical music, with the largest portion coming from Evangelical Lutheran Worship (the ELW).

A fellowship time with refreshments is provided each week after each service.-

Holy Communion – All Are Welcome

  • Holy Communion (the Eucharist) is celebrated at all Sunday morning services.
  • We trust that Christ is the host of this Holy Meal. All who are baptized in any Christian tradition (including children of any age) are welcome to receive the bread and wine. Please come to the Table of the Lord!
  • The sacrament is offered using the practice of intinction. Please dip the bread into either the red wine or white grape juice.
  • Gluten-free wafers are offered on a special tray, along with contaminant-free glasses of wine and grape juice. Please indicate your need to the Communion Servers.
  • If you are unable to come forward, please let the usher know and we will be happy to bring communion to you.
  • Those who prefer not to commune are invited to come forward for a blessing.
