Worship Services
Note: Our services types may shift and change during our pastoral vacancy.
Our Sunday morning worship service takes one of several forms depending on the Sunday.
On the first Sunday of the month and on festival Sundays (such as Easter and Reformation), we celebrate Holy Communion.
The remaining Sundays of each month use the Service of the Word.
When there are five Sundays in a month, the fourth Sunday typically also uses this service. On the last Sunday, we use the Service of the Word with Healing. When a festival falls on this Sunday, it takes precedence over the healing service.
Tithes and offerings can be placed in the offering plates at the entrances to the sanctuary (near the bulletins) or online with our secure form at ELCGreencastle.org/giving.
A “Celebrate” worship bulletin is available at the entrances to the sanctuary; it includes the lessons, prayers, and announcements. The rest of the service is displayed on the screen at the front of the sanctuary; hymns can be sung from the screen, though hymn numbers are included for those that wish to follow the music.
Saturday evening’s casual worship service is one of Holy Communion. Hymns come from a variety of sources and may be traditional or more contemporary.
When a Sunday festival occurs (such as Reformation or Pentecost), the weekend’s Saturday service will also celebrate that festival. On the night before Easter, a shortened form of the Easter Vigil service is used.
There is no need to dress up — come as you are.
