Liturgical Worship

Liturgical Lutheran Worship takes place each Sunday at the 8:00 AM service and all but one week per month at the 10:15 AM service. Beginning in March 2008, St. Paul's has transitioned from using the Lutheran Book of Worship (copyright 1978) to the Evangelical Lutheran Worship hymnal (copyright 2007).
