What to Expect

We’re glad you’re thinking about visiting Town and Country Lutheran!

I was glad when they said to me, “Let us go to the house of the LORD!”

Psalm 122:1

Here’s the rundown to get you started

• Sunday Divine Service at 9:30 AM — here’s a guide on what to expect.
• Wednesday Evening Prayer at 7:00 PM
• Listen to past sermons, or watch a service on our live stream.
• We are a congregation of The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod.
• Learn more about what we believe.
• Not sure what to expect? Give us a shout!

What does your service look like?

The Divine Service follows the historic pattern of the church with liturgical music, hymns from throughout the church’s history, and modern Christian songs. The order of the service is printed in your bulletin to make it easy to follow along. If you have questions about the service, please ask.

We celebrate the Lord’s Supper every Sunday at Town and Country. Visitors who are not members of an LCMS congregation are asked to speak with the pastor before communing — arriving fifteen minutes early, or contacting the pastor beforehand, is the easiest way to do that. You can read more about why we practice closed communion, which has less to do with keeping people away than with not putting words in anyone’s mouth.

A special welcome to those with young children

We are very happy you are here today. At Town and Country, we want you to feel at home.

• First, please relax and enjoy your time here. Jesus knows that children tend to wiggle and squawk a bit, so please don’t feel embarrassed by it.
• Sit toward the front where children can easily see and engage with the service.
• Softly explain the liturgy to your children, encouraging them to join in the responsive parts.
• Be sure to sing, speak and pray your parts as you sit and stand — children learn by your example.
• If you must leave, please hurry back.
• If you need help, please ask.
• A cry room is available in the back of the sanctuary if needed.

Your children are a gift to the Church, so we will do our best to welcome, encourage, and bless you all.
