Holy Week 2019

Palm Sunday @8:30 &11am
Having intentionally read and put into practice the words of Jesus over the season of Lent, it’s time for us to find our place amongst the crowd on the first Palm Sunday. Who was there? Why were they shouting Hosanna? Did they know who he was and what he was about to do? What about those that stood at a distance? What about you? Where is your place in The Crowd?

Maundy Thursday @7pm
The Cup plays a significant role on that night of Jesus’ betrayal. First, Jesus spends time with his closest friends celebrating the Passover. This event was remembered by the Jews with thankfulness for God’s hand of blessing in their lives. On this night, Jesus gives new meaning and significance to the Passover as he takes the bread and he takes the cup and through his word of promise gifts to us his own body and his own blood for the forgiveness of our sins. God passes over us. Yet, on that same night, Jesus asks his Father in prayer for the cup of deep sorrow and suffering to pass from him. The Cup.

Good Friday @1 &7pm
There’s no more central image associated with Christianity than the cross. And what an image it is. The most brutal death sentence the world has created. Yet, this is what we are best known for. When did the cross become the image of Christianity? What’s the difference between the crucifix and the empty cross? The cross will once again place a central role in our Good Friday worship.

Easter Sunday @8:30 &11am w/ Easter Breakfast @9:30am
As Americans, who don't live in a kingdom, we don’t fully understand the importance of The Crown in a Kingdom. Thanks to television, movies, and media we’ve got a little idea. On the day of Christ’s resurrection the crown of thorns was smashed to pieces and replaced with the crown of eternal life. The Crown is an image of power and authority. Christ as our victorious and living King is powerful over sin, satan, and death. To top it all off, The Crown is always passed down. Christ’s victory is our gain!

Lent 2019

What if we put the words of Jesus into daily practice for the 40 days of Lent? Well, that's exactly what we'll be doing! Get ready for the Red Letter Challenge launching on March 3rd, 2019! Learn More Here.

What to expect

We're glad that you're even considering what to expect!

Whether you've never been to church, or it's been awhile, if you've been a Lutheran your whole life, or you're coming from a different church - you are welcome here.

You will be warmly greeted by a vibrant family of people. On Sundays, we sing, read the Bible, listen to a sermon, pray, and enjoy some good fellowship with coffee and donuts after the service. Then, we pray you'll come back next week! In all of this, we hope that you meet and experience Jesus who gives us abundant life!

Want to get a taste for Sunday mornings?

Obviously there's a lot more to being part of a church than Sundays. Take a look around this website, our blog, or our Facebook page to get to know us a little more, but more than that, we hope to meet you in person!

Our beliefs.

As a congregation within the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod, Saints Peter and Paul Lutheran Church teaches and responds to the love of the Triune God. The three persons of the Trinity are coequal and coeternal, one God:

the Father, creator of all that exists
the Son, Jesus Christ, who became human to suffer and die for the sins of all human beings and to rise to life again in the ultimate victory over death and Satan
the Holy Spirit, who creates faith through God's Word and Sacraments

Our vision.

We are a vibrant and growing family of God, a community of believers that is truly and fully Alive in Christ. Our mission is to strive constantly toward that vision - through worship; through our relationships with one another in study, service, and common interest groups; and through our lives in the community.
