Gloria Dei
Lutheran Church is a friendly, inviting
congregation, and we hope you will worship with us.
Our sanctuary,
dedicated in 1980, is a lovely, light-filled place of worship, a blend
of traditional and modern. The stained glass window, depicting the Good
Shepherd, provides a beautiful backdrop to the altar. It was crafted in
1889, by a British artist for
Trinity
Episcopal Church in Howard, South Dakota, and was a gift to Gloria Dei,
together with the hand-carved chancel furnishings, two smaller stained
glass windows, and the bell, which has called the faithful to worship
for more than a century.
We worship on Sunday mornings at 8:30 and 11:00 between September and
May and at 9:30 during the summer months, when we also add a Wednesday
evening worship service.
We celebrate Holy Communion every Sunday of the month,
using the Lutheran Book of Worship, With One Voice, and other
contemporary sources of music.
Our adult choir provides special music on the 2nd and 4th Sundays. The
choir rehearses on Thursday evenings at 6:45 and welcomes everyone —
the only requirement: that you love to sing.
Children are always welcome in worship, but we do provide a staffed
nursery during all worship services for infants and children through age
3.
