Points of Interest In the Building
The Worship Center (Sanctuary)
As you enter the building, the doors to enter the worship space (the Sanctuary) will be in front of you. The people around the doors are there to provide you with a written order of service (bulletin) and assist you in finding a seat if you desire assistance. We do not have assigned seating, so pick any space that is convenient. If you are new to our church and have not been to a Lutheran Church before this visit, you may want to sit about two-thirds of the way from the front of the worship area. That location will enable you to follow the people in front of you during the service. While not an official or unofficial policy of the church, often, the parents with very small children will sit at the back of the church to have quick access to the restrooms. We love that parents demonstrate the priority of faith development in their little children by attending church. For us, the noise of little ones in worship is a beautiful song of praise.
The Restrooms
In the Narthex, If you look to the wall by the stairs, you will see signage that will direct your way to the restrooms in the church basement. As you enter the Sanctuary, you will see a Restroom sign on the far door directing you to a restroom on the main level. The women's restroom in the basement, as well as the one off the Sanctuary has a fully stocked changing stations.
