Worship and Bible Study Schedule

Our strength lies in the Lord God who meets us in worship. Our worship is focused on Christ and His Word. Come and hear!

Triduum: The Three-Day Vigil

On Maundy Thursday we begin what is known in the historic Christian Church as the “three-day” sacred service. The Services of Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and Holy Saturday are conceived of as a single service of congregational worship, separated by times of “recess.” Therefore, the Benediction and Recessional which normally end our services are postponed until the end of the Easter Vigil on Saturday night. These days of intense contemplation focus on the “new testament” in the blood of Christ which God has established for us on Calvary’s cross.

At the close of the Maundy Thursday Service, the depth of Christ’s servanthood is demonstrated as the altar is reverently stripped in preparation for the Church’s observance of Jesus’ death. In this service the Church and her catechumens begin the journey through the three days of Christ’s Passover from death to life and from captivity to freedom.

Concerning the Lord's Supper or Holy Communion:

• If you desire to receive Holy Communion, but have not communed at St. Paul's before, we ask that you speak with the Pastor before the Divine Service begins.

• Member congregations and pastors of the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod believe that to receive the Holy Sacrament together, we must agree in the doctrines of the Christian faith. Not every Christian church body considers such doctrinal unity to be necessary, but we ask your kindness in respecting our Communion practice.

• Please know that our Communion practice does not mean that we are judging any individual Christian's faith or salvation. We rejoice at the faith of all who belong to our Lord's church and are glad that you are visiting with us. If you have questions, our Pastor will be pleased to discuss this in detail with you.
