Worship Information


Sunday Worship 9:30 AM
Sunday School 11:00 PM

The congregation gathers each Sunday morning to sing, to hear God's Word, to pray for those in need, and to celebrate the Lord's Supper (Holy Communion). All baptized persons are welcome to receive Christ's real presence in the gifts of bread and wine. Through these gifts God nourishes faith, forgives our sins, and calls us to be witnesses to the gospel. After worship there is a time of fellowship with coffee, juice, and various snacks.

Special Worship during the year includes:

Christmas Eve (7:00PM)
As we gather on this night, the night of our Savior's birth, the children of the congregation present a special program to celebrate the birth of Jesus. A Brief Candlelight Service of Holy Communion follows the children's program.

Ash Wednesday (7:30PM)
We come together this evening to acknowledge and affirm the greatest mystery of all - death. It is only by dying to our interests and our isolated selves that we are capable of living a more abundant life. Only the one who dies completely to his or her old life will be capable of intensely enjoying the new life in Christ. This is the promise of the gospel. Those in attendance are invited to receive a cross-shaped smudge of ashes on their foreheads as a solemn, public reminder of our mortality. But, we will also celebrate our new life with Christ in the Lord's Supper.

Sunday evenings during Lent (6:00-7:30PM)
Bring your own sandwich and enjoy soup provided by the Fellowship Ministry. After sharing a meal together we gather for songs, bible study, and prayer. This special gathering provides additional time for reflection and meditation during the 40 days of Lent.

Maundy Thursday/Good Friday (7:30PM)
We gather on this night to celebrate Jesus' "new commandment" to "love one another," spoken at his Last Supper where he washed the disciples' feet. On this night we move from the celebration of the Lord's Supper to the trial, death, and crucifixion of Jesus. We close the service by removing all the appointed decorations from the building in remembrance of Jesus, who was stripped, mocked, and crucified on our behalf.

Easter Sunday Celebration (6:30AM)
We gather as the sun is rising to celebrate with joy the message "He is risen indeed!" This day celebrates the victory of Jesus over death, the defeat of Satan, and the promise of new life given to all those who believe. This day initiates the Easter season's 50 days.

Lebanon Church Community Cemetery Memorial Service (Second Sunday in June @ 2:00PM)
A service of remembrance for those who have died and been buried in the community cemetery during the last year.
