What are the services like?
Shepherd of Peace uses the historic liturgies of the Christian Church and makes use of the richness and depth of our Lutheran hymns as found in our hymnal, Lutheran Service Book. While the hymnal is modern, its contents are from the entire history of the Christian Church.
Can I come up for communion?
When we commune at an altar, we are saying "Amen" to what is believed and taught at that altar. Because of this, we are only able to commune those who have been instructed in the teachings of the Lutheran Church and are in fellowship with us. Ordinarily, this includes members of Shepherd of Peace and members of our sister congregations of the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod. If you are unsure or have questions about participating in the Lord's Supper, please speak with the pastor before the service.
Those not communing are welcome to come forward to receive a blessing at the communion rail.
Is childcare available?
The gifts that are given and received in the Divine Service are for all people, young and old. For this reason, we encourage parents to have their children with them in the sanctuary. In addition to them hearing the Word of God, this also establishes the pattern of worship that will be part of their entire lives as Christians. We love to hear the voices of infants and children, but a cry room is available at the back of the sanctuary that allows parents to continue to see and hear the service should they need a place to calm a restless child.
