Sunday Worship Service
"Worship is setting our heart’s affection and our mind’s attention on God”
The Lutheran Church of Mahomet invites you to worship our Lord with us. Recognizing that we are a diversified congregation, we offer two Sunday worship services in differing styles but with the same scriptures and sermon message.

Liturgical Communion Service - 9:00 a.m. Our service is a traditional Lutheran service which uses liturgy and favorite hymnals from the Lutheran Book of Worship as well as other hymn favorites. This service is conducted every Sunday with the exception of the last Sunday of the month, which is our Celebration Service. Music is lead by the organist and chancel choir. Occasional musical offerings are also made by the other choirs of the church. The pastors and assisting ministers wear traditional albs and other vestments and are assisted by scripture readers and communion assistants from the congregation.
Celebration Communion Service - Last Sunday of the Month @ 9:00 a.m. The Celebration Service shares the traditional elements of the Lutheran service while using a variety of different responsive dialogues and contemporary musical responses. Worship is lead by the Pastors, The Praise Team, and a Celebration Leader. A less formal style is used which encourages participants to praise God with a musical form more suited to the everyday lifestyle they are accustomed to. Music is lead with guitars, percussion, and keyboard. This does not make contemporary worship any less sincere than traditional worship. Sister Act, Voice Male, and Youth Choir also prepare anthem selections for this service. Appropriate dress is more casual and vestments and robes are not worn by the pastors or acolytes.
Communion - The Lord’s Supper is shared at all Sunday morning worship services. We believe that all those who have been baptized, trust in His Word, repent of their sins, and set aside any refusal to forgive and love as He forgives and loves us, are welcomed to the table to eat and drink of the body and the blood of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We believe that in this meal, our sins are forgiven, and we are sustained and strengthened for service in the world.
Children’s Worship - Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not stop them; for it is to such as these that the kingdom of heaven belongs.” We believe that children should be worshipers and welcome them as participants in our weekly worship services. Special Young People’s Messages are given, along with monthly Puppet Messages. Ushers and Greeters may be individuals or families, allowing children to participate fully as servants to the community of believers. On designated Youth Sundays, the positions of Celebration Leader and Scripture Reader are also filled with youth. There are children’s activity bags located in the narthex that contain church related items for little ones. If your child is fussy or fidgety, please feel free to move to the nursery where you can worship in a more relaxed setting.
Fellowship - Visitors and members are invited to join us after Sunday service for fellowship. Coffee, doughnuts, and homemade goodies are served. It’s a great way to start the week off by sharing it with your family in Christ.
