These elements are always present in our worship gatherings:

• Gathering
  • We walk more slowly
  • We talk more softly
  • We greet one another
  • We talk to God
  • We listen to God
• Word
  • We read the Bible
  • We listen to one of God’s stories
• Response
  • We work with the stories of God
  • We have a feast
• Sending
  • We go in God’s name

Our worship gatherings focuses on God’s Word and our response. Everything that is done in the gatherings either leads or responds to the moments when we encounter God and respond accordingly.

We strive to engage the mind and the senses in an encounter between God and ourselves in our gatherings and a variety of practices and liturgies both from historical as well as contemporary sources that draw from the Lutheran tradition as well as other traditions are used connect us to people who have worshiped God in many times and places.

As we share each other’s burdens and joys, we go out into the world refreshed and strengthened to do God’s work and serve our neighbors.
