Christ is the cornerstone of our faith and the foundation of our life as the people of God. We are looking at the teachings of Scripture that comprise the foundation of our faith and see how they center on Christ and shape our day to day living. Today we will look at “Worship.” As a supplement to this series, there are materials available for individual and/or small group study during the week. Go to glcdenison.org to find the links to the study materials.

Our 8 a.m. service uses the traditional liturgies and hymns of the Lutheran Church. The 10:30 a.m. Worship Service is a more contemporary service, using a variety of formats, instruments and newer songs along with traditional hymns. Please fill out a Family Registration Card with your Prayer Requests. Pass cards to the center aisle so the ushers can collect them. Children are welcome in the worship service. They are invited to the front for a children’s message during the 10:30 a.m. service. A nursery is provided for children 3 and under during the Sunday School and the 10:30 a.m. Service. The ushers will assist you in finding the nursery.
