Worship Services on Luke (Page 4)
Worship (9:00 AM Traditional) “Lost Sheep”
Text: Luke 15:1-7 In the first of three parables from Luke 15, Jesus invites us to think about those persons who are outside of the fold. How does this story inform the way we approach ministry and life as we encounter people who seem to be lost sheep? How is God seeking us and calling us to repentance when we fail to see ourselves as lost sheep who are redeemed by the Good Shepherd?
Worship (10:30 AM Contemporary) “Saying No Will Change Your Life”
Luke 4:1-13 Perhaps our lives, every once in a while, would benefit from an audit. How do we spend our time? Are we efficient? Are we doing what we have been called to do? How much of what we do is an old habit or the result of feeling like we’re stuck? The point this week will be: thinking about the things that we do or focus on that doesn’t bring joy and goodness into our lives. And also, when…

Worship (10:30 AM Contemporary) “Serving Others Will Change Your Life”
When pressed to winnow down all the laws into only one Jesus said, “Got it. Love God. Love people.” The point – the people who love and serve God and – as a result – people who feel called and inspired to go love and serve other people in the name of Jesus. Just imagine a world where people are more concerned about someone other than him or herself. That in the world that God wants and envisions.

Christmas Eve Worship (3:30 PM) “Because We Can’t”
This service will feature special music from our Canticle Choir and orchestra, directed by Larry Bach, and soloist Elliana Meier. We celebrate Christmas with beloved carols, choral music, and an inspirational message for all of God’s children.
Thanksgiving Eve Worship “Real Thanks”
Our service will continue our tradition of an intergenerational choir as well as special music from soloists Josh Eidem and Tim Graf. Don’t miss this opportunity to come and be reminded that Thanksgiving is not only a holiday but it is a verb as well; we will offer our gratitude to God for all the blessings in our lives.
Good Friday Family Worship (5:30 PM)
Family Service—where we hear the story of Jesus’ love and sacrifice through spoken word, music, and the holding of the cross. This service is geared towards families with children and youth but all are welcome.
Palm Sunday (10:30 Blended)
Luke 19:28-42 Palm Sunday marks the beginning of Holy Week for Christians around the world. As our Sunday School children join us in worship with palm branches and shouts of “hosanna,” we hear together the story of Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem and we see how events will turn that lead Jesus toward the cross of Calvary—for us and for our salvation. Christians today still need to raise our voices in singing hosanna—“Lord, save us!”

Worth (Blended 10:30 AM)
Text: Luke 7:36-50 As we conclude our series, we take a look at the topic of worth. Do we ever, even subconsciously, assign more worth to some people than to others- including ourselves? Jesus is all about showing us the value of each person and this is shown beautifully in the story of a sinful woman who responds to Jesus with genuine worship. We are taught throughout the scriptures that Jesus deals tenderly with the outcast, with the underdog, with…
