5th Sunday Services
There are usually 4 -5 months out of a year that have 5 Sundays. At Faith, we have a “traditional” worship service every 5th Sunday. As Lutherans, we have a long history of holding what is known as Divine Service. These worship services include a fixed order of worship called Liturgical worship, where our worship follows a set order that the congregation follows. Liturgy comes from the Greek term, Leitourgia, which means “the work of the people”. This liturgical service invites the congregation to actively participate in responsive confession and prayer, scripture reading, classic hymns, creeds and of course, the Lord’s Supper… Communion. This type of worship has been celebrated for centuries and is a Christ-centered worship focusing on Word and Sacrament that has marked Lutheran worship for generations.
Kingdom Kids Is Here!
Every Sunday @ 9:15ish
We’re excited to announce that Kids K’nnection has a new name and a new beginning! Just in time for the start of a new school year, our children’s ministry is becoming Kingdom Kids, has already started on, September 13th! Kingdom Kids is a special time for our children to learn, grow, and connect with God through Bible lessons, activities, and age-appropriate teaching while the adults continue listening to the sermon. All children preschool through 5th grade are welcome to participate! During Sunday worship, children will join us for the beginning of the service and our children’s chat. Immediately following the children’s chat, they will be dismissed to Kingdom Kids, where they’ll have the opportunity to learn more about God and His Word in a fun and engaging environment. The children will then return to the sanctuary in time to join their families for Communion. We’re so excited to begin this new chapter of our children’s ministry and create a place where our youngest members can grow in their faith, build friendships, and discover what it means to be part of God’s Kingdom.

Summary of Heaven in Stone and Glass Heaven in Stone and Glass is a 2026 one‑hour‑27‑minute documentary by Bishop Robert E. Barron that takes viewers on a spiritual pilgrimage through five of Europe’s most iconic Gothic cathedrals — Chartres, Notre‑Dame, Reims, Amiens, and Saint‑Denis. The film opens with the haunting image of Notre‑Dame burning in the 2019 fire, a moment that captivated the world and inspired Barron to explore why such sacred spaces resonate so deeply, even with non‑believers. Through vivid visuals and theological reflection, Barron examines how Gothic architecture embodies the belief that God is not distant but woven into the fabric of creation.
