SERVICES
PLEASE NOTE: DUE TO COVID, our service schedule has changed. Please see the home page for the current schedule.
|
|
The Saturday service has a smaller, more casual feel. It's great for those with Sunday commitments and those who prefer a service later in the day. |
|
|
Sunday services are held in the sanctuary. The only difference between the traditional and contemporary services is the music. The traditional services feature our organ, choir, bell choir and soloists. The contemporary service is led by our worship team and features guitar, keyboard, drums and vocalists playing contemporary worship music. All services feature prayers, music, Bible readings, a sermon, offering and communion. |
COMMUNION
|
|
PLEASE NOTE: Due to COVID we now use individual, sealed communion sets and the communion schedule may be altered. Holy Communion is celebrated each Sunday at Fairlawn Lutheran in the glad confidence that our Lord Jesus, as His word says, gives not only bread and wine, but also His true Body and Blood for us to eat and drink for the forgiveness of sins. Our Lord invites to His table those who, repenting of their sins, believe His word that He is really present for our forgiveness. All baptized believers who hold this confession, and seek to live in Christ’s forgiveness with each other, are invited to receive His Sacrament.
Communion wafers are given first, then you may choose to take the wine in a small cup or from the common cup. Gluten-free wafers (small bowl) and non-alcoholic wine (center of the tray) are offered for those who desire them. Communion can be brought to the seat of those who cannot walk to the front of the church - just let an usher know. Children and those who are unsure about the Lord’s Supper are invited to come forward to receive a blessing by crossing their arms over their chests. Pastors would be happy to answer questions about communion before or after the service. |
CHRISTIAN EDUCATION HOUR
|
|
On Sundays (September-May) there are learning opportunities for all ages. We typically several different Bible studies for adults, Bible studies for youth in grades 7-8 and 9-12, and Sunday School for children age 3 (and toilet trained) to grade 6. Children younger than three are welcome in the nursery (with a parent) or may accompany a parent at an adult Bible study.
|
NURSERY
NOTE: Due to COVID, our nursery is currently unstaffed, but is still open and available to parents who need to remove their child from service for calming, diaper change or feeding. Typically, we have a staffed nursery available to all attendees each Sunday during service and the Christian Education hour. Baby changing facilities are located in the restrooms and nursery.
