Worship services at Holy Communion have music and a message. We gather to worship God and to receive the Good News about Jesus. Our 8:30 am service is traditional with more liturgy and hymns while our 10:30 am service is contemporary, a bit more casual and includes more modern music. We celebrate communion every Sunday and each service lasts about one hour.
Yes. We have a single-level and no-steps building with nearby parking. People using wheel chairs, walkers and canes worship with us regularly. We also have hearing assistance devices at the ushers stand in our vestibule/narthex. Please ask the usher for one.
Children are always welcome. They may sit with you in the sanctuary, or if you prefer more privacy we have rocking chairs in our vestibule and a nursery room with toys. You can hear the service in both locations. Preschool and elementary school aged children are also welcome to attend our Sunday School. We love children and want them to be a part of our church family.
The Lutheran Church has an open table for communion which means all are welcome to receive communion. Christ is the host of this holy meal and we are but humble servers. Holy Communion is served by intinction, meaning bread can be dipped into either the crystal chalice of wine or the ceramic chalice of grape juice. Gluten free wafers are always available upon request.
Absolutely! We welcome all people into the body of Christ. We believe that Jesus is the Lord of all people and all nations, and that we are all part of the body of Christ.
While you will be welcomed, we also respect your privacy. Some people prefer to keep a 'low profile' on their first visit. We have more than 400 members and very few of us know everyone's names. We invite you to participate and be a part of the body of Christ here, but our invitation is a gracious and gentle one.
Most people come dressed as they would for work or school but any dress appropriate in public places is welcome. On Christmas Eve and Easter people tend to dress a bit more formally, but do not let dress be a barrier to joining us. We want you here.

We welcome drop-ins whether they are actively seeking a church or merely curious. We don't pressure but do try to answer any questions you choose to ask. Many members at Holy Communion started as visitors with no connection with any person in the congregation. You are welcome to call our ....Pastor's e-mail..'s e-mailat 443.299.6134, and our staff regularly takes people to lunch or will make home visits to acquaint people with the faith.
