Sunday Worship at 9:00am Bible Class following service
Calendar
Freewill Offering
Welcome in Jesus' name!
We encourage and welcome our members, friends, and guests to join us for worship. Church is a gathering of people in the same place who praise and worship the God who saves sinners. Church is not a place where "perfect" people go - there are none! Rather, church is a gathering of imperfect people desperately in need of God's forgiveness, mercy, and grace.
Sermon documents can be found by clicking the "Sermons" picture button above, then selecting the current year and category "Sermons."
The Beginning of the End: It's Time To Invite the Unworthy
Don’t you hate it when someone has prepared an excellent meal, but travel delays mean that certain friends or relatives don’t get to enjoy it? Sometimes there are no leftovers, and an opportunity is lost.
God has prepared an extraordinary spiritual meal for all people. It is received by faith. But it is not offered forever. The day will come when body and soul are separated, and those who do not believe in Jesus as their Savior will not share in his blessings. It’s the beginning of the end. Now is the time to issue the invitation!
Readings:
Isaiah 25:6-9 – The prophet Isaiah describes the heavenly banquet which is entered through faith in God and his salvation.
Romans 1:16,17 – We proclaim that we are saved through faith alone.
Matthew 22:1-14 – The king gives us the privilege of inviting people to his wedding banquet.
110th Anniversary Welcome Home Sunday, October 18h, 2026
Why Welcome Home?
Jesus told the story about a shepherd who left the ninety-nine to find the one. Welcome Home is about you. It's about stories, relationships, and souls. Grace Lutheran is a home where you are noticed and love is extended to you. Our home is always open to you. Our congregation is growing in appreciation for worship and its significance for our life. We welcome you and we want to grow with you in faith and life!
If you would like to study these readings and learn more about them before Sunday Worship, please attend our Thursday (8:30am) Bible Class at Familiar Grounds Coffee Shop in New London. All are welcome!
