Although the Lutheran Church is among the largest of Protestant bodies, Living Word itself is a small and intimate congregation. For more than 50 years Living Word has included a special community of people brought together by God’s grace who have committed themselves to the mission of: LIVING THE WORD – SPREADING THE WORD.
We invite you to join us for worship on Sundays at 11 am!
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.
Fifth Sunday of Easter
This Sunday’s image of how the risen Christ shares his life with us is the image of the vine. Christ the vine and we the branches are alive in each other, in the mystery of mutual abiding described in the gospel and the first letter of John. Baptism makes us a part of Christ’s living and life-giving self and makes us alive with Christ’s life. As the vine brings food to the branches, Christ feeds us at his table. We are sent out to bear fruit for the life of the world.

All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to the Lord. (Ps. 22:27)
God’s love perfected in love for one another
Christ the vine
