Worship
Beginning this weekend, we will offer two worship options. Both options will be posted to our YouTube channel on Saturday evening and will be available for you to join us in worship at any time you choose.
When preparing to worship with us from home, it’s helpful to find a space with the fewest distractions. In addition to your TV or computer; you may want to grab your Bible and hymnal (if you have one.) If you have small children, assemble some coloring pages or quiet toys to keep their hands busy while they listen.
Gather your family together and take some time to settle yourselves and prepare your hearts and minds for worship. Begin with a prayer asking God to bless your worship time. You may choose to light a candle before you begin the service.
Our classic worship service is recorded in the sanctuary and provides a normal worship experience, just as you would experience if you were here on any given weekend.
We will also provide a second, more family friendly worship option. This service contains all of the key parts of worship (invocation, absolution, scripture reading, message, creed, offering, lord’s prayer, and benediction) but in a more condensed and personal format.
Sunday School
Sunday School video lessons will be made available! Our Sunday School teachers have a plan in place to bring you a video lesson each week. The lessons will include reading an Arch Book that connects with the lesson of the week. Printable sheets will also be made available.
Bible Study
We are committed to offering Bible study options throughout this time of social distancing and will make those resources available next week.
Devotional Resources
Both pastors will be recording short devotions throughout the week, which will be made available through our Facebook page and our YouTube channel. Look for these to posted regularly.
In addition, we encourage you to check out the many resources offered by Lutheran Hour Ministries.
KFUO Christian Radio is another wonderful resource that you can utilize during this time.
Offering
While this is a difficult time financially, we encourage you to continue returning a portion God’s blessings to Him. This is an important element of the worship experience and we trust that God will bless our efforts as we work to maintain this practice during uncertain times.
