pause student worship
During the school year, we meet for worship at 8pm at Grace University Lutheran Church — we call it pause because it’s like taking a big deep breath in the middle of the week. You can expect mostly students to be in attendance, acoustic music, beautiful art, robust conversation, quiet prayer, and reflection. Our communion table is open, which is one way of expressing that when we say all are welcome, we really mean it.
