Thanks for checking out our web site.
 
 You are always welcome at Lutheran Church of the Palms, where we are called to grow in God's love and help God's love grow.  God has brought us together to live out a particular mission from our church, and so we are continually listening and we are praying endlessly because we want to serve God's calling for us.
 
 I wonder if you are part of that calling?  I wonder if you would bring the particular gifts we need in order to feel more complete? 
I wonder if God is nudging you or tapping you on the shoulder
so that you might come and check us out?

 We worship every Sunday and we invite you to be a part of the celebration of life in Christ.  Our worship includes; Corporate Confession and Forgiveness, Music and Singing, Scripture, Message, Prayer, Holy Communion, Blessing and it's in a traditional Lutheran format -- all in one hour.  Oh, our worship is all spelled out in the Sunday Bulletin so it's easy to follow too.
 
 We are a wonderful mix of singles and families, young and mature, men and women, girls and boys.  We also gather at different activities and times during the week and we reach out into our community. 
So come and check us out.  You'll find us on Nebraska Avenue
between US 19 and Belcher Road, right next to our very own
ball park, Palm Field. (map)  I think you'll like what you see.
 
Can't wait to meet you and may God bless your spiritual journey,
