Worship and Communion Opportunities

Traditional Worship Service

Sunday at 8:00 A.M. and 10:30 A.M. Communion is held on the first Sunday of each month.

Radio replay of the 8:00 A.M. Service each Sunday at 10:00 - 10:30 A.M. on WMVR Sidney, 105.5 on the FM dial. Please note that this radio show plays one half hour of the hour long service. Portions of the 8:00 service are omited due to time constraints.

WMVR Changes

If you or someone you know listens to our service on the radio, please know that WMVR has made some changes to their broadcasting. Instead of doing LIVE broadcasts, they will be playing taped services— causing you to be a week behind. This change took affect on January 20th, 2008 by repeating our January 13th service. We are sorry for the inconvenience that this causes you, but please know that it is not us—it is changes made by the radio station.

RADIO BROADCAST

Hopefully by now everyone has been informed that our Sunday Morning broadcast has changed from the service being current to a week later. The radio station went to all automation on Sunday mornings, so there was no choice in the matter for us.

Since I am preoccupied on Sunday mornings at 10:00a.m., I do not get to listen to the broadcast. But I do want feedback. We have a half hour and in the time we try to get the Scripture lessons and Sermon, perhaps a hymn and the prayers. If there are changes in that or suggestions, please let me know. I am also interested in hearing about the quality of the broadcast. Does everything come through well or are there areas we need to improve? Does the service start at 10:00 and do we get our full half hour? I know there are many people in our congregation and in the community who listen to this. I want to make sure we are doing the best job we can in sharing our worship with you through this medium. I look forward to hearing from you. Pastor Jon

Alternative Worship Service

Holiday Services

Communion Note:

We welcome to the Lord's table all confirmed Lutherans and any other adult, baptized Christian who desires to receive Christ's Body and Blood for His forgiveness and life. Youth (not confirmed) must have completed the Communion preparation course. Communicants please sign the Welcome Pad (red book). Newcomers are kindly asked to introduce themselves to a Pastor. Please note that Communion presumes:

  1. An awareness of personal sin and need.
  2. Faith in God's grace in Christ.
  3. An intention to live a new life.
  4. A belief that Christ is really present in the Sacrament.
