Welcome to Living Word Lutheran Church Church

Each Sunday we gather under God’s Word of compassion and hope and around the altar celebrating the saving power of Jesus the Christ in Holy Communion. Although our worship is typically Liturgical in structure, (following the format and ancient practice of the Christian Church), our style is relaxed and informal.   Worship at Living Word includes a blend of both traditional and contemporary music, and has the flavor of a big family gathered around  a table to celebrate an important life event (which is pretty much what is happening!)  And of course, the family would not be complete without children!   There is a nursery available, but we love to have children participate and we try to make it engaging for them as well.        

Twenty-seventh Sunday after Pentecost  

Even after Israel had experienced the vagaries of kings, the people still longed for a true king to set things right. He would have the king’s title of Anointed One (Messiah); he would be the “one like a human being” (Son of Man) given dominion in Daniel’s vision. Jesus is given these titles, even though he is nothing like an earthly king. His authority comes from the truth to which he bears witness, and those who recognize the truth voluntarily listen to him. We look forward to the day he is given dominion, knowing his victory will be the nonviolent victory of love.
