Programs and Services
American Lutheran Church is a busy place, offering many services to both the congregation and the community.
Worship in the Sanctuary
During Lent we have one service on Wednesday evenings.
Special services throughout the year include Thanksgiving eve, Christmas Eve, Holy Week and services brought on by events such as September 11th.
There are many weddings, funerals, and other occasional services such as private baptisms.
Music
Several choirs practice at the church every Wednesday night during the school year. The Chancel (adult) choir, with about 18 members, practices in the music room. The "Allelu" contemporary music group with about 10 members practices one or two evenings a month in the sanctuary. The Bell Choir practices every Wednesday evening in the sanctuary.
Christian Education
Sunday school for grades Nursery though 12th grade is held each Sunday morning at 10:00. Confirmation is also held at this time.
The High School youth meet for activities at the church once or twice a month. Elementary age youth meet each Wednesday after school in the fellowship hall for Christian educational activities.
Vacation Bible School is held at the church for a week every summer.
Service and Fellowship
There is something going on in the fellowship hall almost every day. On Sunday morning after the Worship Service it is filled with people enjoying coffee and fellowship. One Sunday a month there is a "Love in Action"/New Members potluck following church services.
The women of the church spend two Tuesdays every month using the entire fellowship hall for quilting. The Prayer Shawl ministry group uses the fellowship hall one or two evenings a month to knit and crochet shawls for the sick and shut-ins.
