We are an independent Lutheran church formerly associated with the ELCA, the largest Lutheran body in the U.S. Our worship is like that of most Lutheran churches in the country, though we use a wider range of sources for hymns and liturgical music than many, and we use gender-inclusive language throughout our worship service. Find out more about the way we worship.

Worship

11:00 a.m. Sunday morning: Holy Communion

A traditional liturgical mass with gender-inclusive language used throughout, and a Communion table open to everyone.

Participating in the liturgy

It used to be that the liturgy was the private domain of the clergy. Those days, however, are long gone; and rightfully so. The liturgy is the work of the entire people of God. Whether you serve as a sacristan or a lector, crucifer or an assisting minister, your actions and words embody the Gospel and the prayers of the people.

Below are the descriptions of each worship participant.

Hospitality is an important value of St. Francis, where we welcome everyone. All of us should join in greeting fellow worshipers, assisting others, and sharing the peace. Three roles, however, are special to our Sunday worship service: usher/greeter, providing flowers and coffee hour host.
